A Special Thank You

To our incredible partners, Tactile Technologies, thank you for your unwavering support in helping us drive meaningful change. To all our donors, supporters, and friends, your generosity and belief in our mission have made an extraordinary impact on women and girls across the country.

16 Days of Activism

As we mark this critical campaign, let us remember why it matters. Ending gender-based violence is not just a cause; it’s a responsibility we all share. Together, we must continue to stand, speak, and act for a world free of violence.

Season’s Greetings

As we step into the festive season, we encourage you to prioritize mental, physical, and spiritual rest. Reflect on your victories, cherish your loved ones, and step into the new year refreshed and recharged.

Thank you to the incredible Womandla Team for walking this journey and building the vision collectively. Here’s to 2025—a year of even greater impact and unity.

With gratitude and love,

Sam Gqomo (CPRP)
