Following a near fatal accident, one woman decided to turn her pain and traumatic experience into a passion.
She refused to let this experience kill her fighting spirit and today, she is an inspiration to other victims of trauma.
And with that same spirit of positivity, she decided to start an organised called The Frame Foundation, to help other victims of trauma.
“I started The Frame Foundation because I understand the pain and struggle of living with trauma.
“Having gone through my own traumatic experience, I know first-hand how hard it is to find support, resources and a safe space to heal.
“I felt lost and alone; like I was navigating a dark journey without a map,” said Memory Tafadzwa Maja, affectionately known as Sister Maja.
She added: “by the grace of, God I found courage to put one leg in front of the other, till I found a solid rock to stand on and found my life-and I wanted to help others do the same.
“I realized that trauma survivors often feel silenced, stigmatized, isolated and that’s when the idea struck me-to create a platform where survivors could share their stories, connect with others, and access the resources they need to heal.
“The Frame Foundation was born out of my passion to help others reframing their stories, reclaim their lives and find hope and resilience in the face of adversity.
“It’s my way of paying it forward and I’m committed to creating a safe, supportive community where survivors can thrive.”
Sister Maja further revealed that The Frame Foundation is a trauma survival foundation dedicated to empowering survivors of trauma to reclaim their lives and thrive.
She added that their mission is to provide a safe space for trauma survivors to share their stories, access resources and connect with others who understand their journey.
Their aim is to break the silence and stigma surrounding trauma, fostering a culture of resilience and hope.
“Our objectives are to create a supportive online community for trauma survivors, offer resources and tools for healing and growth, raise awareness about trauma and mental health, provide access to expert advice and support.
“Our vision is a world where trauma survivors are seen, heard, and empowered to frame their own stories and shape their own futures and our tagline is Reframe Your Story, Reclaim Your Life.”
