WHAT’S NEW ON THE GROUND? • •
The volunteer house got some new street art with a local artist bringing his talents to our wall. Check out our Facebook page for the latest photos! We said goodbye to one of our local partners for The Girl Impact, but started working with a new partner just next door. This way we’re staying in touch with the community and continuing our impact.

After working together for 3 years, it was time to say goodbye to our partner, Buyelekhaya, as the teenagers had aged out of our program. We had a huge party and celebrated all that had been achieved. Thank you to all who donated to or who volunteered with us at Buyelekhaya in the past.

We welcomed a new partner, Masibonisane, in November – a women-led initiative that we work with to provide health advice, income generation skills and English lessons.

Our whole team embraced the 16 Days of Activism for Elimination of Violence Against Women campaign, celebrating women’s and girl’s empowerment by teaching children how to keep themselves and their bodies safe from harm.
