dream girls

DreamGirls International Outreach and Mentoring Program promotes the enrolment and success of young women in institutions of higher education, through the empowering of young women by community role models and leaders.

 

The main goals are to motivate young women in order to increase enrolment in institutions of higher education, to implement a structure that would promote women to reach their highest fulfilment and, to provide opportunities for volunteer work in order to help the community.

 

The organization will bring together successful women who are either past or current students in higher education and who also show leadership skills and community involvement to become ambassadors and engage with younger underrepresented women between the ages of 14-20 years.

 

The ambassadors will implement and organize meetings and activities with the younger women in a safe environment, in order to help and motivate them to reach their goals.

It also hosts seminars, forums and workshops during the expo, which cover everything from the clothing and textile industry, to accessing finance for SMMEs.

 
The focus of the Vukani! Fashion Awards is to promote young and upcoming fashion designers including but not limited crafters by providing them with entrepreneurial development support. This support is geared towards assisting and easing barriers of entry for them to enter the industry and world of business. They access entrepreneurial development support through entering and competing in the Vukani! Fashion Awards. By organizing and hosting the Vukani! Fashion Awards, SAFDA (South African Fashion Designers Agency) aims to contribute to the following imperatives:

ntshulisaThe Ntshulisa Foundation (TNF) enriches the lives of orphaned and/or displaced children who are in the care of various non-profit or public benefit organisations (beneficiary organisations). TNF has partnered with these beneficiary organisations to supplement the primary requirements of the children in their care.  Importantly, TNF strives to focus on interaction with the children to socialize, nurture and love them, as well as providing material support.

 

TNF has developed a two pronged approach to helping:

  1. It assists beneficiary organizations develop their strategies, identify their requirements/needs and budget accordingly. TNF then communicates this to our network of partners and resources.
  2. TNF engages and partners with social enablers (i.e. volunteers, professionals and corporations) who are want to provide resources to worthy causes in order to provide a conduit to meeting their Community Support Initiatives (CSI).

 

Partnerships enable us to achieve more together. TNF’s goal is to forge partnerships and collaborations with social enablers who can help us stimulate and support the capacity, growth and sustainability of beneficiary organizations by fostering cooperation, collaboration and assisting in the growth of the programs that we create for our adopted children.

 

To bridge the gap that we identify with our beneficiary organisations, TNF has created the Social Action Network that connects beneficiaries with social enablers.
