Iziko Lethemba is a social enterprise with the core objective of reducing crime by facilitating the re-entry of ex-offenders back into the community
We establish commercial farms on a replicated proven business model where parolees are housed, work and receive on the job training directly following released.
Our approach of providing full-time employment, coupled with comprehensive intervention programs, helps residents develop decent work habits, gain vocational skills, and restore the necessary trust in them whilst earing an honest living.
Ex-offenders are in addition given an opportunity to refresh interpersonal skill, gain invaluable life skills, rebuild family and societal bonds, engage in community service, participate in restorative justice initiatives, and attend personal enrichment classes.
The aim of rehabilitation is to make offenders less likely to reoffend on release, failing to actively assist ex-offenders with reintegration amounts to an abandonment of the rehabilitation work performed in prison
Underpinning the notion of reintegration is the basic realization that it is in the communities' best interest the ex-offender is successfully reintegrated
Iziko Lethemba therefore advocates a comprehensive approach to reentry, working with the management area and starting with reentry planning addressing all the needs of incarceration persons from the moment they qualify for parole, parole hearing, release date,
Providing
Providing work to ex-offenders is an investment into a safer society.
Ex-offender in our program contribute financial to the well-being of their victims
Our program includes a major focus on limitation of the risk of recidivism
We support other NPO's .
