Mission
TO CONFRONT THE ROOT CAUSES OF POVERTY IN RURAL SOUTH AFRICA BY EMPOWERING WOMEN WITH FINANCIAL LITERACY, SMALL BUSINESS TRAINING AND LIFE SKILLS TO SUSTAIN NOT ONLY THEMSELVES, BUT THEIR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES.
Program accomplishments
- TO ACHIEVE OUR MISSION, OUR APPROACH INVOLVES AN INTENSIVE PROCESS THAT SECURES A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR HEALTHY GROWTH ENABLING WOMEN TO RISE ABOVE POVERTY. WE PROVIDE FUNDING FOR TRAINING WORKSHOPS IN BUSINESS SKILLS SUCH AS PRODUCT DESIGN, MARKETING, BOOKKEEPING AND BASIC FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT. BY BUILDING THESE ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS, COMMUNITIES WILL BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN INDEPENDENT BUSINESSES. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE PROGRAMS THAT WE FUND RAISE UP WOMEN LEADERS WHO MAKE KEY DECISIONS FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES ADVOCATING WITHIN LOCAL GOVERNING BODIES. CHANGE AND SOCIAL REFORMS SUCH AS ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE, BETTER EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES POSITIVELY AFFECT THE LIVES OF THEIR COMMUNITIES. OUR MAIN FOCUS IS TO EMPOWER AND BUILD UP WOMEN TO BECOME SELF-RELIANT THROUGH SELF-HELP GROUPS, CLUSTER LEVEL ASSOCIATIONS AND FEDERATIONS. BY WORKING IN COMMUNITY WITH OTHER WOMEN, THEY ALSO RECEIVE VITAL SUPPORT IN IMPROVING THEIR LIVES. TO ACHIEVE THESE GOALS, ZIMELE USA FUNDRAISED THROUGH VARIOUS ACTIVITIES INCLUDING: 1) IN FEBRUARY, ZIMELE USA HELD A BAKE SALE CALLED BAKED WITH LOVE. LOCAL AREA BAKERS DONATED BAKED GOODS WHICH WERE PRE-ORDERED AND PROCEEDS WERE DONATED TO ZIMELE USA. THIS WAS ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ZIMELE USA TO SHARE ABOUT THE SOUTH AFRICAN WOMEN WHO HAVE STARTED THEIR OWN BAKING BUSINESSES. 2) IN AUGUST, ZIMELE USA ORGANIZED A 400 MILE BIKE RIDE CALLED "RIDE FOR ZIMELE" IN WHICH A TEAM OF 8 CYCLISTS RODE THEIR BIKES FROM NEW JERSEY TO MONTREAL, CANADA OVER 5 DAYS TO FUNDRAISE FOR ZIMELE PROGRAMS.Expenses $223,129 · grants $166,439
