Community & peer-to-peer Support Groups
We are currently running face-to-face support groups in the Region A, Diepsloot community of Johannesburg where women get together periodically, have tea and just support each other in a safe space. We have also created virtual communities through our WhatsApp support groups, where women who have never met in person have created a sisterhood that supports each other through a myriad of challenges. The WhatsApp support groups help us to reach women from across the country.
