Overview
Assist in breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty by increasing the opportunity for women in townships and rural communities to access quality education, health care and income initiatives.
Around the world, the majority of people living below the poverty line are women. Many girls are still denied basic education and women continue to dominate the world's illiterate population.
By supporting women in culturally appropriate ways and listening to their own opinions about the types of opportunities that would benefit them most, GVI will ensure that your time in South Africa has meaningful impact on the future of women and girls with whom we work.
Features
