From Help to Helping

Beneficiaries Became Staff

Some of our former beneficiaries are now permanent staff members at Paballo Ya Bana, giving back to the community that once supported them.

"The support we received during the pandemic kept our families alive. Now I'm proud to work here and help others the way we were helped."
