But survival hasn’t been easy.

With no outside funding, the pair are struggling to buy basics for the children, let alone expand.

Still, their dreams are bigger than their challenges.

They envision a fully-fledged Ifalethu Arts Centre, a buzzing hub where young people can showcase their skills, land scholarships, and even receive support for food, clothing and school fees. “We want these kids to live lives filled with creativity, not addiction,” added Hove.

Already, the group has become a powerful alternative to street life, inspiring dozens of children to pick up scripts and drums instead of pills and pipes.

Now the couple is calling for help from well-wishers, businesses and the community at large to sustain the project.

With the right support, Ifalethu Arts could turn Nketa into Bulawayo’s next cultural hotspot and a generation from drugs in the process. 🔗
