"RivLife saved my brother"
Read one young lady's plea for change in her brother's life, and how RivLife stepped in to make a difference.
“My younger brother, Sanele always battled at school, even failing one year. We lost our parents early in life and as his older sister, I always struggled to guide him on the right path. He became friends with the wrong group of people and got into some very bad habits. I received calls from his school on a weekly basis to report his bad behaviour and disrespect for his teachers. He was then referred by the school to RivLife for assistance where he met a counsellor who then became actively involved in his academic and sporting activities. This made a huge difference to his marks and his behaviour. After time, I even stopped getting calls from the school. Since then on, his marks improved dramatically and he passed all of his exams. Presently he has finished matric and is looking forward to a bright future. I believe if it were not for RivLife, this would not have been possible, and for this, I am very grateful.” –Nokulunga Ngcobo, 29 February 2021
