Extraordinary Lives (SA)

Extraordinary Lives seeks to break the intergenerational cycle of crime by investing in the children of prisoners.

Children with a parent in prison are six times more likely than their peers to end up in prison as adults. They are the forgotten victims of crime, and we believe it is critical to step in at a young age to offer tailored support for the unique challenges they face.

Extraordinary Lives delivers a range of services to children with a parent in prison, aiming to break the intergenerational cycle of crime.

The core goal of the program is to build long-term, positive peer and mentor relationships, and to enhance children’s connections with their families and schools.
