When we say Womandla To the World, we mean it! We are excited to announce our new partnership with the American-based non-profit, ROD Foundation. This collaboration aims to share more of our initiatives, build relationships with like-minded organizations, and work towards creating leadership, travel, and bursary opportunities for girls in the future.

??Support for Tongaat Community??

We cannot ignore the recent devastating tornado in Tongaat, Kwa-Zulu Natal. Although the Womandla Foundation doesn’t directly respond to disasters, we stand in solidarity with our community. Our STEAM Lead, ZULAKA KHAN , is collecting essential items to aid those in need, especially from our adopted school. Please consider donating to support these efforts - https://www.backabuddy.co.za/campaign/womandla-foundation
