WHY   At eduSOIL we believe in a world where children and adults Pause. Breathe & Heal and take some MEtime everyday.  
A world where Everyone Discovers Ubiquitous Seeds of Infinite Love. 

Yet right now the problem​ is that most children and adults, especially in underserved communities, lack access to tools
and trainings that help nurture their mental and emotional wellbeing. This problem has far-reaching impacts. 

Private/Social 

Children:
At least 3 million children in SA are affected by toxic stress and as a result, experience loss of development potential. 

Adults:
An estimated 21 South Africans commit suicide daily, with stress being a significant contributing factor. ​An estimated 7 582 South Africans die by their own hand every year and 20 times that number attempt but fail to take their own lives.

Depression is one of the most common emotional disorders in children (affecting as many as one in every 33 children) which can produce serious difficulties and interfere in a child’s life and development.

Educators:
The prevalence of stress related illnesses were 15.6 per cent for hypertension in a cross sectional study of 21,307 educators from public schools.

Healthcare 

Patients:
More than 17 million people in South Africa are dealing with depression and anxiety, while even mild depression reduces the motivation to follow treatment plans.

​
Healthcare Professionals:
57.14% of Allied Health Professionals suffer from emotional exhaustion due to the extreme demands of the healthcare environment.

CORPORATE

CEOs, Directors, Corporate Professionals & Staff:
Statistics SA shows that employee absenteeism costs the SA economy between R12 - 16 billion annually, largely attributed to workplace stress, burnout and employee ill health. 

​
Surveys have showed that most people in the country are taking less leave to balance their financial challenges, emphasising that resting is needed to avoid mental health issues.​
