Through mentoring in the community, we foster positive qualities such as integrity, change, respect, passion and leadership in young men. Supporting and encouraging boys to become compassionate and responsible men plays a key role in rape prevention.

Rape has been called the silent war on women, predicted to be the top contributor to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in South Africa. We aim to empower young women to overcome social oppression and develop self-confidence, life skills and leadership qualities.

Rape victims are face long-lasting effects that prevent them from growing into the human beings they potentially could be. We have partnered with the Thohoyandou Victim Empowerment Program to directly assist victims of sexual assault and domestic abuse.

Children who have lost their parents to AIDS are often stigmatized by society since they are assumed to be HIV-positive themselves. The distress and social isolation experienced by these children, both before and after the death of their parent(s), is strongly exacerbated by the shame, fear, and rejection that often surrounds people affected by HIV and AIDS. By working with our partner organizations in South Africa, we can ensure these children will be more than victims.

We plan reach out to organizations (including micro lenders) that will provide steps towards financial independence. Studies have shown that greater average female income decreases the rate of sexual assault. Many barriers exist in trading with physical goods. Our focus is on supporting new and existing Internet companies. Exporting services and generating wealth this way helps to bypass these hurdles.
