Empowerment

At Siyabonga we believe that: as long as the families that give life to these children are not economically supported or equipped, we will have more orphans, humiliating poverty and high illiteracy. Unlike other charity organizations, we can’t only prone the dry leaves but water the roots. Basically we can’t just provide support to this particular child and forget the rest of the family siblings in the similar environment. Therefore Siyabonga has a dream of helping families, help their children. One family at time Siyabonga’s approach will be to empower families through (Non –formal Education) which will also provide mainly parents with educational activities that meet their needs and interest or even subjects that are relevant to their rights, wellbeing and professional practical skills in agricultures, animal husbandry and entrepreneurship skill

At Siyabonga we come alongside vulnerable women in our neighbourhoods and partner with them to find practical, sustainable solutions to meet their key needs. Part of this includes training them in adult literacy, various vocational courses, business classes and job opportunities necessary to earn a living.
By helping these women develop and grow their life skills, not only are we equipping them to be able to provide for their families, but we are also restoring their dignity. We passionately believe that when a woman is empowered, she can reach her full potential and her whole family is transformed.
