Kwakha Indvodza (KI) is incredibly thankful and indebted to you, our valued supporters, for your generous contributions to this worthy cause and for believing in our vision for safer and more gender equal communities in Swaziland. Since launching this fundraising campaign in October, we are just shy of reaching 20% of our goal, a figure which we believe to be an adequate amount for implementation to commence.
The rationale behind this is that far too many times well-intentioned organizations enter communities with one-off interventions that fail to create long-lasting impact or effect change. 20% of our goal will allow KI to run at least 3 camps, a number we feel can make a difference within communities. Thus, as we approach the new year, we have begun the initial stages of implementation and will be full steam ahead within the coming weeks.
With contributions from friends and donors like you, we are transforming the lives of thousands of men and boys in Swaziland. Currently, amongst other community-based projects, Kwakha Indvodza is successfully working with hundreds of 15 to 29 year-old males in the border town of Ngwenya towards reducing violence against women and girls, and to-date, have yielded encouraging results. Projects like these are challenging the harmful social and cultural norms that promote sexual and physical violence in Swaziland.
Once again KI thanks you for your support and looks forward to working with and for you in the near future.
