Empowering Women Through Skills.

In celebration of Women’s Month, The Star Foundation contributed R100,000 to the Etafeni Day Care Centre Trust. This donation will enable 15 women to participate in skills development training, equipping them with valuable abilities in sewing, beading, financial literacy and computer literacy.

Etafeni is a holistic hub of empowerment and hope. One of its standout initiatives, the Sewing Training Programme, teaches participants essential sewing skills while also equipping them with the confidence and knowledge to generate an income and support their families. By fostering self-sufficiency and entrepreneurship, this initiative helps break the cycle of poverty and creates pathways to sustainable livelihoods.

The programme is designed to empower women to become financially independent. After their six-month training, participants receive three months of incubation support to help them establish their own businesses within their homes and communities.

Beyond skills training, Etafeni provides a nurturing environment where children can learn and play while their caregivers gain the tools needed to build sustainable futures. Their programmes include HIV/AIDS support, after-school care and income-generating projects, ensuring the community’s diverse needs are met with compassion and expertise.

Your support can make a world of difference. Join us in our mission to create lasting change – donate today and be part of a brighter future for all.
