Kolisi Foundation
www.kolisifoundation The Kolisi Foundation was established in March 2020 by Siya and Rachel Kolisi.

Proudly rooted in their home country, Siya and Rachel are compelled by a strong conviction that every little small act of change matters.

Our vision is to create a hub for helping organisations to build capacity, in order for people to find each other, create synergies, provide support and work better together. We cannot win the fight against GBV if we operate with a silo mentality. Over the next few days, we will introduce you to these organisations. Take this opportunity to learn from and about them, understand the role they are playing in the space and how you can engage with them… Help is available, we only need to know where to find it. www.kolisifoundation.org Media credit: Black Bean Production

During August, the Kolisi Foundation held a series of conversations with men about the role of men in addressing gender-based violence. Coming up with solutions to gender-based violence requires that we listen to and learn from the experiences of women. Over the last few months we have listened to countless stories from women across our country. These stories are a piercing indictment about the reality that women in South Africa live in. They are also an invitation to men all over the nation to consider and reimagine a world where women don’t live in constant fear. We are reminded of the words of Kolisi Foundation co-founder, Siya Kolisi, to use August as an audit month. “It should be happening every single month because Gender-Based Violence doesn’t only happen in a certain month, it’s an every-day fight” - Siya Kolisi Founding a foundation during this time, we really wanted to assist in immediate need and we wanted to partner with organisation that are already doing incredible work and learn, listen and understand. www.kolisifoundation.org info@kolisifoundation.org Media Credit: Black Bean Productions
