RADA is a humanitarian organisation focused on empowering individuals. RADA is your place of renewal, an acronym for rape, alcohol, drug, abuse. At RADA, the focus is on self-responsibility and self-awareness, an important attribute that can redefine the way we treat others.
The two-fold approach focuses on personal growth and responsibility (RADA Training Academy) and healing (RADA Healing) which includes rehabilitation facilities currently based in Bryanston, Johannesburg. Together with The Transformation Development Centre (“TDC”) under the banner TDC RADA.
Through our humanitarian work in vulnerable communities, we realised that there are many other areas where people require support and assistance. This led to the establishment of RADA CARE, providing support that is long-lasting, simple and effective and that directly serves the people who need the assistance.

What Makes RADA Different
Our techniques and success rates are our point of difference:
- RADA addresses issues proactively through RADA Training Academy and by partnering with organisations which implement programmes that focus on the emotional development and social well-being of children.
- RADA Training Academy provides internationally recognised workshops, Services SETA Accredited courses and computer training. The intended outcomes of the RADA Training Academy workshops is to develop skills, behaviours and attitudes which lead to improved self-management, social awareness, self-awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision-making.
- RADA’s reactive approach to renewal is based on the premise that people need to understand that they are entirely responsible for and accountable to themselves.
- The therapies that RADA uses helps people to recognise the fact that they actually have the power and energy within themselves to get back onto the road to recovery and ultimately lead a fulfilled life.
- Using a form of deep meditation, the RADA techniques work with accelerated mental processes that encourage a complete shift in mind set.
