Who Are We?

OneVoice South Africa (OVSA) is a South African NGO that recognises the crucial role young people can play in managing their health, developing their full potential and strengthening our communities.

Our SCHOOLS PROGRAMME has been developed by Health and Development specialists, learners and educators, stakeholders and OVSA staff, and has been endorsed by the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Department of Basic Education (DBE).

OVSA’s interventions align to the Curriculum Assessment Policy (CAPS), DBE Scripted Lesson Plans (SLPs) and the national response to HIV, TB, Life Skills, Gender, Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights, Water Access, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and Human Rights, as well as Enterprise Development, developing Entrepreneurship, Work Place Preparedness and Career Pathing issues.

Our Mission

Is to promote meaningful participation of young people in making informed decisions about health and lifestyle, including sexual and reproductive health and rights, hygiene practices and good citizenship within our communities; as well as expand target audience knowledge on TB and TB/HIV Co-Infection, and promote early detection.

Our Vision

Is to support a safe and creative environment where young people are part of the collective voice to develop positive life skills in response to critical health and lifestyle issues.
