  • What is the RW Reintegration Model?
    It is our framework for walking with a woman from prison back into her community, in six connected stages: strategic prison engagement; prison outreach and preparation; needs assessment and discharge planning; community mentorship and support; psycho-social support and economic empowerment; and communication, sensitisation and safe spaces. At its centre is breaking generational vulnerability.
  • What does "wholistic" mean in your work?
    Our work is grounded in Wholistic Transformational Development (WTD), which addresses spiritual, emotional, physical and social needs together, because lasting reintegration needs all of them.
