Raising awareness of Male sucide and depression.

In 2019 there were 13,774 sucides in South Africa, 10,861 of them were men. This number keeps increasing not only in South Africa but in Africa as a whole and globally.

Male sucide and male depression is a commonly ignored subject, as men are seen to be strong and are to show no signs of weakness. This type of thinking may be backward but it is the reality for most African men.

TIgERD, is here to change the narrative, to extend a hand to men who feel the weight that had been placed on their shoulders from the time they were born, is too much to carry alone. We want to show that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but of courage. We want to help men get back on their feet so they can be the best version of themselves for their family, friends and most importantly themselves.
We want to create a habit in men to not only exercise their physical bodies but also their mental and spiritual health.

With this money we plan to create a community, a get away, place/facility where men can gather to discuss these issues, relax, rehabilitate and strengthen each other. For we are stronger together than we apart.
