More on Funda Nenja:
Funda Nenja started in 2009, the name roughly translates from isiZulu to mean ‘learning with a dog’.
The Funda Nenja model aims to nurture children into caring and responsible young adults while at the same time opening up possibilities for their self-development.
The dogs are used to teach these principles, creating the bond between child and dog. Using the training technique, they learn discipline and respect when interacting with parents, teachers, people of different cultures, and their environment.
The programme is delivered in a safe and secure environment using the dog training technique, it is a fun event that draws over 100 children each week to interact and learn from each other.
