Mqanduli is a small town on the Wild Coast, approximately 35km from Mthatha, serving a large rural hinterland including Wilo village and numerous surrounding communities. The area has high unemployment and poverty, and limited access to legal and social services.
Services
- Free paralegal and legal advice on GBV, domestic violence, protection orders, maintenance, housing, and labour rights.

- Justice system navigation — supporting community members through police, court, and DSD processes.
- Community education on rights, GBV recognition, and available support.
