Kolisi Foundation
The Story of Grace Rachel Kolisi met 'Grace' while assisting an abused woman called ‘Sharon’ through the Kolisi Foundation in June 2020. Grace took ‘Sharon’ in her care, and we noticed that Grace regularly takes abused women and children in her community under her wing. Even if it means she goes without a place to sleep or a meal to eat. Grace mainly relied on donations and assistance from the public. As the Kolisi Foundation, we wanted to be a part of her story and equip her to continue the excellent work she is doing in her community. Where is Grace now? During the past few months, Grace received training and skills development to equip and empower her. It enabled her to understand the system, engage with community leaders and build relationships to support mothers and abused children. She is now moving into her own apartment to continue to serve in her community and apply her new skill-set. To support Grace visit www.kolisifoundation.org. Media Credit: Black Bean Productions

The GoodMen Foundation is mobilizing men to become active participants in the fight against Gender Based Violence. They have a vision to accelerate the fight against Gender Based Violence and to inform and empower men in communities to lead a fight against Gender Based Violence www.thegoodmen.org.za info@thegoodmen.org.za | Admin@thegoodmen.org.za About the Kolisi Foundation 16 days of Activism Campaign Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is one of the most widespread, persistent and devastating human rights violations in our world today remains largely unreported due to the impunity, silence, stigma and shame surrounding it. We are reminded of the words of our co-founder, Siya Kolisi, to use August as our audit month as the work should be done every day for 365 days. During 16 days of Activism we will be taking hands with organisations in the GBV space by focusing on amplifying the work they are doing. 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
