In most countries women are still largely or exclusively responsible for childcare at home, even as their participation in the labour force increases. However, the Nurturing Care Framework emphasizes the importance of men’s role as caregivers.

📢 The state of fatherhood in South Africa does not exist in a vacuum. Real and pervasive factors are at play that hinder the participation, presence and engagement of fathers and father-figures.

⛪ Your church context is unique & understanding this is crucial to effectively encourage dads. Follow our early life initiative, sikunye's series on #BarriersToFatherhood to gain a better understanding of what fathers in your context need support in & some actions you can take.

During our employment initiatives' #JobJourney, participants imagine they start their journey with an empty backpack & by the end of the course, they have filled their bag with these job readiness essentials. For this young school leaver, better time management was the key!

We recently had the incredible opportunity to visit the 3 schools our education team works in! It was a fun and eye-opening experience for our broader staff team, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the realities of our learners and school staff. #CollaborationSchools

This is what one of our staff, Linda Mentoor, had to say about the experience, "I have gained new respect for our education team as they go out each day to serve the most vulnerable, our children, in extremely challenging and dangerous conditions."

And she went on to say, "At all 3 schools, I was filled with hope as our enthusiastic team proudly took us around the schools, showing us the work that they are doing with the teachers, and the impact that they are making in the lives of both the teachers and the learners."
