| Evidence of change at a policy level | chairperson,zwoane takane once thanked gender links for grooming me to be positively different,he thanked me because i advised him on which method to use in oder to reach the solution |
| Capacity building | talking to women ,empowering them and make them aware that not only men should take the first lead,i also help children to apply for scholarships and encourage them to be educated |
| Lessons learned and shared | MANY WOMEN STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND THEIR RIGHTS AND THEY ARE STILL BEHIND BECAUSE THEY CANT STAND UP FOR THEMSELVES WOMEN ARE STILL BEHIND CONCERNING TECHNOLOGY SO THEY DONT UNDERSTAND THIS THINGS |
| Next Steps | I WISH TO CONTINUE WORKING FOR THE COMMUNITY EVEN IN HIGHER PLACES LIKE ONE DAY BECOME A MINISTER OR PRIME MINISTER |
