The organisation was established in 2013 by Dawn Menke, Zinhle Ngcobo and Thanduxolo Ntshangase. The aim of the project is to empower women and vulnerable groups and to distribute food parcels and infection-control materials to identified vulnerable women and girls in two communities. The organisation also aims to provide a place of safety for women and girls in the two communities experiencing violence and abuse. We facilitate community response to issues of violence and abuse against women and girls.

The project aims to support 120 young women in 6 rural communities in the Alfred Nzo and Ugu districts of the Eastern Cape and Kwa-Zulu Natal Provinces to become agents for social change, while economically empowering them to participate in the fight against gender based violence and femicide. An additional aim is to showcase the efficacy of challenging existing patriarchal values, while providing empirical evidence of the positive effect of income support for achieving agency, choice and bodily rights, all of which are important for gender equality and increased women’s rights.
