Eastern Cape mothers and gogos use song to tackle mental health

# The mothers and gogos of the One to One Africa charity in the Eastern Cape are using music to heal minds and spirits in struggling communities through a community health intervention known as the Chime-initiative. Chime mentors mothers trained in basic healthcare to use original songs for easing trauma and anxiety. Executive director Gqibelo Dandala says in a world turning to artificial intelligence and alternative health solutions, these songs carry the wisdom of women who have walked through fire and still choose to sing.
