The Foundation was birthed through Siya and Rachel’s desire to change the story of inequality in South Africa, responding with compassion and courage to the challenges faced by our nation.

Our partners at MOSAIC have distributed our Power2You packs to Spar employees, many of whom start their shifts in the early morning while it’s still dark. These packs provide essential tools to help ensure their safety as they travel to work. We’re thankful for this partnership and the collective effort to fight against gender-based violence. #Power2You #WorkplaceSafety #EndGBV #KolisiFoundation

At the Kolisi Foundation, collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. We believe in learning from those who know and do better, rather than reinventing the wheel. By understanding and supporting the amazing work already being done by so many organisations, we can make a greater impact together. #Collaboration #Partners #KolisiFoundation

We're proud to share that all 6 Siyaphakama schools now have proper fencing, with Sithembile Primary School being the final site to be completed. This marks a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to improve school infrastructure within the Siyaphakama Zwide Schools Project. Looking forward, we're excited about developing a multi-purpose field at Isaac Booi and a multi-purpose court at Emsengeni to further support our students’ growth and development. #Siyaphakama #CommunityDevelopment #KolisiFoundation

Our recent Partners Day in Zwide was a powerful opportunity for our corporate and implementing partners to experience the Siyaphakama Zwide Schools Project. They connected with our dedicated coaches and gained insight into the Kolisi Foundation’s impactful work. We’re grateful for the shared commitment to creating lasting change in South Africa! #PartnersDay #KolisiFoundation #Siyaphakama

That's a wrap on #AuditAugust! This past month, we've been reflecting on our gender-based violence work and impact. It's been an incredible last 12 months, and we're eager to keep expanding this vital programme. #EndGBV #Power2You #KolisiFoundation

This collaborative project between Groote Schuur Hospital Trust and MOSAIC is making strides in the fight against gender-based violence. A simple yet powerful set of questions are helping identify those experiencing gender-based violence (GBV) and/or intimate partner violence (IPV). This initiative — born within #KolisiConnect — has also led to vital training for nurses on GBV and IPV, ensuring they are equipped to support survivors. Together, we hope to expand this programme to hospitals nationwide, creating safer communities across South Africa. #EndGBV #AuditAugust #KolisiFoundation

SAPRO recently empowered their employees by giving out our Power2You packs at their Women's Day brunch! These packs are a commitment to safety and GBV awareness in the workplace. Power2You packs equip employees with vital resources to stand against gender-based violence, making them an essential tool for businesses that prioritise a safe and equitable environment. Interested in purchasing Power2You packs for your team? Contact our Partnerships Manager, Lauren Budde, at lauren@kolisifoundation.org #Power2You #EndGBV #WomensDay2024
