  • SayPro Heartfelt and sincere appreciation article to the Health and Welfare Sector Education and Training Authority (HWSETA)

    A Sincere and Heartfelt Appreciation to the Health and Welfare Sector Education and Training Authority (HWSETA)
    In Recognition of Their Support for SayPro’s Victim Empowerment Programmes – In Alignment with the National Strategic Plan for Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (NSP-GBVF 2030), 2023–2024

    It is with the deepest respect and heartfelt gratitude that we, at SayPro, extend our warmest thanks to the Health and Welfare Sector Education and Training Authority (HWSETA) for their impactful support and funding of our Victim Empowerment Programmes during the critical years of 2023 to 2024.

    Your generous contribution and unwavering commitment to advancing social justice, gender equity, and the well-being of vulnerable individuals have not only elevated our capacity as an organization but have also changed countless lives across the communities we serve.

    The support received from HWSETA was more than just a financial investment—it was a powerful statement of solidarity in the fight against Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF), a crisis that continues to affect women, children, and marginalized populations in South Africa. Through this collaborative effort, SayPro was able to take bold and meaningful steps in support of the National Strategic Plan on GBVF 2030, working toward a safer, more inclusive, and more just society.

    Thanks to HWSETA’s support, SayPro was able to achieve the following milestones:

    1. Capacity Building and Skills Development

    We successfully trained dozens of emerging professionals, social workers, community development practitioners, and frontline responders in the core areas of victim empowerment, trauma-informed care, counseling, and support services. This not only created employment and learning opportunities but also contributed to the sustainability of victim empowerment services in under-resourced areas.

    2. Community-Based Workshops and Awareness Campaigns

    SayPro conducted extensive community dialogues, workshops, and education campaigns designed to address the root causes of GBVF. These initiatives focused on challenging harmful social norms, promoting respectful relationships, and creating safe spaces for survivors to speak out and access support.

    3. Victim Support and Referral Systems

    With HWSETA’s help, SayPro enhanced its referral systems to ensure that survivors of GBV could be quickly and compassionately connected to critical services such as medical care, legal aid, psychosocial support, and shelter. These services were made more accessible and visible to those in need, especially in remote and underserved communities.

    4. Youth and Women Empowerment Initiatives

    Recognizing the importance of prevention, we integrated gender equality education and life skills development into our programming—particularly targeting young men and boys, while uplifting women and girls through empowerment initiatives that promote independence, self-worth, and leadership.

    5. Support for the NSP-GBVF 2030 Goals

    SayPro’s Victim Empowerment Programmes directly contributed to the pillars outlined in the NSP-GBVF, particularly Pillar 1 (Accountability), Pillar 2 (Prevention and Rebuilding Social Cohesion), and Pillar 4 (Response, Care, Support, and Healing). This alignment ensured that our work supported the broader national goal of eradicating GBVF in our lifetime.

    To the leadership, team, and visionaries at HWSETA:

    Your trust in SayPro and belief in our mission has not gone unnoticed. Your role in helping us strengthen our victim empowerment interventions has created ripples of healing, growth, and transformation in communities that have long suffered in silence.

    Your support is not only appreciated—it is deeply respected and profoundly felt by every person who has found strength, hope, and recovery through the opportunities you helped make possible.

    As we continue our work in advancing the rights and dignity of survivors and building resilient communities, we carry with us the encouragement and momentum that your support provided.

    Thank you, HWSETA, for being a true partner in progress. Thank you for standing with us. And most importantly, thank you for standing with the survivors.

    With gratitude and respect,
    The SayPro Team

    A Tribute of Gratitude to Mrs. Nompumelelo Makhanya: The Quiet Force Behind the HWSETA – Governance for NPOs Programme

    There are some people whose presence quietly transforms lives—not through loud declarations, but through genuine care, unwavering support, and a heart committed to service. Mrs. Nompumelelo Makhanya, you are one of those extraordinary souls.

    Your dedication to the HWSETA – Governance for NPOs Programme has not gone unnoticed. Behind every successful session, every opportunity granted, and every empowered young person, your fingerprints can be found—evidence of a woman who gave her best so others could rise.

    Your role may often be behind the scenes, but the impact you’ve had is front and centre in the lives of many of us who were blessed to be part of this programme. You made the process smooth, you made us feel seen, and above all, you made us feel supported.

    You didn’t just assist with logistics and coordination—you became a source of warmth, hope, and reassurance in a journey that, for many, began with uncertainty. Whether it was answering questions with patience, offering encouragement when things felt overwhelming, or simply being available when we needed guidance, your presence was always felt, and always appreciated.

    Because of your help, organisations like SayPro are now walking a new path—one filled with structure, confidence, and growth. We’ve begun to unlock new levels of impact and opportunity because we had people like you standing beside us, cheering us on, and ensuring we had what we needed to succeed.

    The Governance for NPOs Programme didn’t just improve our understanding of leadership and accountability—it restored our belief that there are still people in this world who care deeply, who go the extra mile, and who serve with humility and heart. You are one of those people, Mrs. Makhanya.

    From the deepest part of our hearts, we say thank you. Thank you for your tireless work, your kindness, and your belief in our potential. You’ve contributed more than you know, and your legacy will live on in every organisation, every youth, and every dream you’ve helped strengthen.

    A Heartfelt Thank You to Mrs. Nozimbali Alidi: A Guiding Light Through the HWSETA Governance for NPOs Programme.

    There are people whose presence in our lives leaves a mark so deep, so meaningful, that words often fall short in capturing the impact they’ve made. Mrs. Nozimbali Alidi, you are one of those rare individuals.

    Through the HWSETA – Governance for NPOs Programme, you have been more than just a leader or facilitator. You have been a mentor, a motivator, and a mother-figure to many of us who stepped into the unknown, filled with hope and uncertainty. Your gentle yet firm guidance, your unwavering belief in us, and your warm, nurturing spirit have created an environment where we could grow, learn, and rise.

    Many of us came into this programme carrying the silent weight of unemployment, discouragement, and the constant fear of being left behind. But then came you—with a voice full of wisdom, a heart full of compassion, and a spirit committed to seeing young people and organisations flourish. You reminded us that we are capable, worthy, and destined for greater things.

    Because of your dedication and your helping hand, SayPro has begun to reach greater heights. Doors we once only dreamed of are beginning to open. Opportunities we once thought were out of reach are now within our grasp. Your support has helped shape SayPro into a more efficient, professional, and visionary organisation. Your guidance gave us the structure we needed, and your encouragement gave us the confidence to pursue more, do more, and become more.

    You haven’t only impacted individuals—you’ve strengthened entire organisations. You’ve played a key role in enabling SayPro to expand its reach and enhance its governance, positioning us to better serve communities and transform lives on a greater scale. And for that, we will forever be grateful.

    You gave us more than a programme—you gave us a future.

    From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Mrs. Nozimbali Alidi. Thank you for your time, your dedication, your sacrifices, and most importantly, for believing in us. Your legacy is already being written in the lives you’ve touched and the organisations you’ve uplifted.

    With eternal gratitude,
