  3. Women Empowerment: We are deliberate in our efforts to raise women in the society because the future is female. We campaign against beliefs, behaviors and biases that promote rape culture and endanger women, while actively providing support for victims.

  4. Governance Advocacy: We actively campaign for accountability and transparency at all levels of government and also seek to improve the respect for rights, protection of interest, participation, non-discrimination and effectiveness/efficiency of government policies.   Our dedication to building an improved society is never in doubt and that is why thus far, the organization has supported fifty (50) students with the payment of their school fees, twenty-two (22) women have been given monetary support with which they are running their businesses thus becoming financially independent and about 10 elderly are being taken care of by the organization. We add new bricks and reach new points in touching lives, however, doing this in a larger scale which is our desire can only be achieved when we are able to secure donor funds.
