IMPACT@NWU July 2025

The NWU is proud to present the second edition of our quarterly Community Engagement Newsletter – a celebration of meaningful partnerships, impactful projects and shared progress! This edition highlights how our university continues to work hand in hand with communities to drive change, inspire innovation and address real-world challenges through collaborative efforts. From health initiatives and youth development programmes to environmental research and skills empowerment, these stories reflect the deep-rooted commitment of the NWU to making a lasting difference.

Join us as we showcase inspiring voices, powerful stories and the dynamic spirit of community-driven transformation – because together, we are shaping a brighter, more inclusive future.

The NWU’s Khayalethu residence has stepped up its support for under-resourced schools in the vicinity of the Mahikeng Campus.

When the boys left the classroom, the silence broke. “I saw the shift instantly,” says Larona Binang, describing a mentorship session at Kebonang Secondary School.

A spirit of collaboration and compassion is flourishing at Witrand Hospital, thanks to the innovative Taking HANDS community engagement project led by the Presence team of the School of Nursing and NuMIQ research focus area.
