Grace Bible Church launched Ummlomo programme in Pimville, Soweto to encourage an open discourse of topics that are avoided by families, and it allows individuals to be vocal and unashamed about experiences that people come out of.
It was launched on the 31 August and the public was encouraged to attend and participate. Women and men shared their stories aiming to inspire and freeing themselves by being vocal about their problems. The platform allows married people to inspire young couples about how to deal with family issues and being vocal about it.
The Ummlomo team encourages families to have an open communication and relationship, and the day ended with attendees receiving motivational books and signing up for the programme. The public is also invited to be part of this initiative that encourages people not to be ashamed of their problem.
Gauteng News spoke to Sphamandla Mkhize, “This is a great initiative and it creates a platform where we can be open as a family and solve our problems rather than avoiding them. I am happy the church decided to organize this and play a positive role in families and communities”.
