There are many reasons why we use JOBJACK to recruit young people. Their human-centred design means that we really get to know each applicant through a picture, voice note, and personal introduction - enabling us to listen to and connect with real people, rather than just reading the data set out on a CV.

Where Belonging Builds Resilience

In a recent session, a learner opened up about the loss of his brother to su***de. As we explored his support networks, he spoke warmly about his father, a man who walks with him on the farm, teaches him to fix tractors and listens when it matters most.

In a country where many children grow up without present father figures, this moment stood out. It reminded us of how important belonging and connection are for healing.

At Community Keepers, we work to strengthen relationships that protect and uplift young people. Whether through therapy, classroom support or group work, we help learners build networks of care that buffer against life’s hardest moments.

Today is World Kindness Day

Kindness isn’t just a feeling. It’s a choice we make in how we treat others, in the words we speak, the way we listen and the actions we take.

Small acts of kindness can build trust, strengthen relationships and support wellbeing in our schools.

Let’s keep choosing kindness. Let’s keep creating spaces where everyone feels seen, safe and supported.

This week we recognised the International Day Against Violence and Bullying in Schools.

Bullying doesn’t just hurt in the moment. It can leave lasting emotional scars. That’s why we stand against all forms of bullying and partner with schools to build a culture of kindness, respect and connection.

Let’s work together to create school communities where everyone feels they belong.

In the words of our CEO, "The work of Community Keepers is only possible with the whole-hearted buy-in and support of our partner schools."

As the end of 2025 draws near, we took a moment to pause and reflect on the strengths of this year:
- active collaboration
- staff support and engagement
- learner impact

To all of our partners: thank you for your trust, time and care.

A Springboard for High School

He came to us in 2023 while he was still in primary school, struggling with anger and often in conflict with teachers and peers. Expressing emotions felt impossible. Over time, through consistent sessions with Community Keepers, he learned how to communicate his feelings and manage his emotions in a healthy way.

This month, he walked into our office with a big smile. He’s doing well in high school, managing his emotions, succeeding in class and building better relationships. He came back to thank us for helping him find his voice.

For us, this is more than just a success story. It’s a reminder that when learners feel heard, respected and supported, they grow. Our work focuses on building emotional literacy, connection and resilience - and the impact stretches far beyond the school gates.
