About Us
Pasi pemuti talks
Womandla foundation implements a pasi pemuti model
which loosely translates to Under the Tree talks. The
model encompasses adoption of creating safe feminist
spaces with young women and adolescents girls. The
ambiance is centered in tenants of anonymity, privacy
in a relaxed and natural setting.
Topics in this past year focused on Gender based
violence ,bodily autonomy, Menstrual health, drug
abuse, leadership and governance and related topics.
These discussions will be sometimes facilitated by
stakeholders and technical experts.
Benefits of doing these pasi pemuti is that young
women and adolescents girls will learn more and also
stand for their rights, and provide leadership grooming.
We have developed a Pasipemuti Talk facilitators guide that can be downloaded in the resource page. Pasipemuti has been noted as a best practice and we have developed guidelines that can be adopted by everyone in any sector to facilitate any conversations.
NETBALL
Womandla Tribe is a Netball team that is Sponsored by Us with support from Love Alliance. We understand the role of Sports to economically empower Young women. It provides a support system, creates a process that helps women and girls move from limited power, voice, and choice at home and in the economy to having the skills, resources, and opportunities needed to compete equitably in markets as well as the agency to control and benefit from economic gains. There is evidence of strong positive links between women’s economic empowerment
and foundational health outcomes for women and their families, including beneficial effects on nutrition, family planning, maternal mortality, and child mortality.
We know that not only is sports a pillar for good health, but it increases the share of household income controlled by women and it produces other benefits as well, including greater investment in children’s education, delayed marriage, and reductions in gender-based violence. This has been a success story to our Tribe players.
The #ibleedtoo campaign aims to raise awareness
on period poverty and to challenge the stigma
surrounding menstruation and to promote
menstrual equity and access to menstrual
products. The project is targeting adolescents in
remote rural communities. Despite being a natural
and healthy bodily function that affects every
woman globally, menstruation remains a taboo in
our community.
You Can Be a Part of Changes in the Rural Communities
The campaign has been seeking to
keep girls in class by providing alternative
sustainable. options for menstrual health. The
#ibleedtoo campaign has organised a number of
activities to raise awareness of menstruation and
menstrual equity. The activities include, social
media campaigns, public speaking events, and
dialogues as well as donation of menstrual
products to adolescents.
