The Sakhe Family Care Development Centre, based in Humansdorp in the Eastern Cape, is on a mission to uplift families by providing much-needed training courses for wives, husbands and even their children. | Lisaleesolomon1
The non-profit organisation's ultimate goal is to prevent gender-based violence by providing life skills, driving lessons and computer courses to unemployed men and youth. It also teaches women sewing, so they can ultimately make their own clothing and possibly start their own businesses.
"We teach the men and youths on behavioural change, masculinity, taking responsibility, discipline, and how to handle conflict and rejection in life. In most of the cases where women are murdered by their partners, it is young men who can't handle rejection once the woman ends the relationship, which then ultimately results in the woman's death."
"This makes us very happy and proud of the work we are doing for them. In some cases, their marriages have also improved drastically, which is always great news to hear." Soupa Troopers: Paramedics join local Good Samaritan to bring kids in Mitchells Plain a warm meal As part of their mandate, the organisation is looking to equip more women by providing advanced sewing classes and training on industrial sewing machines. It hopes to empower the women to create school uniforms, overalls and other products for local businesses.
"We have trained 25 women so far, but the need is tremendous. After first making the training available, our waiting list has grown. As more women see the success of those who have done the course, they also want to do the training. We have many women on our waiting list."I train the women to sew, and they have loved every minute of it, learning to produce their own clothing from scratch.
