Some updates about our Social Relief Fund

By Isa Straver | Intern

Dear friend,

It's been a while since our last report. We have been busy busy busy serving the Mabopane Community, but we'd like to give an update on what our outreach team has been up to in the intervening time and what we have been able to accomplish with your support.

First, we were able to buy 80 food parcels with the support of Brooklyn Methodist Church. We divided those parcels amongst different support groups (GBV, Young Mothers, CSW).

Apart from this, we also received in-kind donations from different partners. We received clothing from past beneficiaries and board members, among others. These donations allowed us to provide some much needed baby items to our young mothers and members of our support groups.

Finally, we have also been busy with our proactive sessions in school. We started at a new school in September; where we are training 8th grade children on GBV and human rights, among other things. 177 boys and girls from this school are now following our programme.

Because we want to see more impact from the schools following our programmes, we have drawn up a new strategy. Instead of helping certain groups for a short term, we now follow children from 8th grade for a whole year, and continue to track impact when they are in the 9th grade. Our new strategy, combined with our updated M&E tools, allows us to track the impact of out programme in the learners' lives.

We are really grateful for the people who support our work and make this possible!
