Dlala Nje was founded in October 2012 with the aim to challenge perceptions and to create opportunities. They do this through running inner-city immersions and experiences in some of Johannesburg's most misunderstood areas. These immersions and walks have allowed them to build and run a community center aimed at providing a safe learning environment for children and youth.
