After the Voice of the Cape radio station first brought attention to the story of Bryan Diamond, there was a massive outcry on social media by South Africans who want to help. Having seen these pleas for help on our social media channels, the Kolisi Foundation was made aware of Bryan’s story. Bryan was only three years old when he was caught in the crossfire of gang warfare in 2006. The bullet ripped through his brain, leaving him brain damaged and bound to a wheelchair. Having been put on life support and given only three days to live, Bryan defied the odds when he gained consciousness as the doctors were preparing to turn off his machine. Now 17 years old, Bryan‘s survival is nothing short of a miracle. He has since outgrown his specialised wheelchair and is currently bedridden. Bryan’s mother Ronell was also shot during the incident and has mobility issues as a result of her injury. It has been a challenging and difficult journey for Bryan’s family who still lives in the same house where the incident took place in Heinz Park 14 years ago. We as a foundation wanted to assist this family and ease their burden in any way possible. Driven by our slogan “Remember the one” and impacting South Africans, “one by one”, we wanted to help in a way that has a lasting impact. We partnered with THMS Projects and various funders, and have been working hard to improve the Diamond family’s living conditions. We were able to provide them with a newly renovated home that would make caring for Bryan easier. Some of the improvements were replacing the roof, installing a ceiling, waterproofing the external walls, building a bathroom and kitchen, creating partitions for Ronel and the boys to have separate rooms, building bunk beds for the boys, supplying miscellaneous kitchenware, and providing new mattresses for the beds. The Kolisi Foundation has numerous projects that we are passionate about. View our projects here or get involved by making a donation. www.kolisifoundation.org Media Credit: Black Bean Productions

www.kolisifoundation.org Women’s Day 2020 Women are pillars of strength, commitment and generosity across our country. They weave families and communities together. They bind us with cords of love to one another, and they bind us up with compassion when we are broken. We are, because they are. Yet, when we look at the statistics of abuse and gender-based violence in South Africa, we recognize that there is a war on women in South Africa. Gender-based violence, which disproportionately affects women and girls, is a profound and widespread problem in South Africa. It is systemic and deeply entrenched in our institutions, cultures and traditions. We all have to do better. We have to be better. This Women’s Day, let us rise up and add our voices to their cries. Let us collectively declare that there has been far too much violence in our history and let us work together to create another story. It may take a village to raise a child, but it will take every one of us working tirelessly together to be able to make a significant change to the stories of women in our country. “Freedom cannot be achieved unless the women have been emancipated from all forms of oppression.” - Nelson Mandela Media created by Black Bean Productions

www.kolisifoundation.org The Kolisi Foundation met 'Grace' while assisting an abused woman called ‘Sharon’. Grace took Sharon in her care and we noticed that Grace regularly takes care of abused women and children in the community. Even if it means she goes without a place to sleep or a meal to eat. She relied mostly on donations and help from the public, and as the Kolisi Foundation, we wanted to be a part of her story and equip her to continue the good work she is doing in her community. Besides providing these abused women and children with a home she also feeds the children in the community with two meals daily. Donate towards the Grace for Grace Project and help Grace to continue to do the good work in her community. The Grace for Grace Back-a-buddy donation link is on our website www.kolisifoundation.org For more questions contact info@kolisifoundation.org Media Credit: Black Bean Productions
