"The weekend brought great gifts and stayed with me for many months after. Sometimes, seeing the women I share "life" with standing in the queue at Woollies or walking in the forest, and in that quiet moment sharing a glance of recognition, respect and feeling of I know what it means to walk silently beside another woman, the pain and joy of this life and the gift of being a woman.”

Supporting Women For Afrika
Supporting Women For Afrika
Before each Woman Within Weekend, there is a lot that needs to be done and organized within the Women For Afrika community in terms of logistics, planning and registration. In order to ensure the weekends take place, we are reliant on the support of our community of women, who are all volunteers - to be a part of our Leadership Circle as well as to staff the weekends.
