Real change happens when we work together!

Amandla Development recently brought together the Domestic Violence Working Group at Philippi Village, alongside MOSAIC, CESVI, Philippi Village, Etafeni Day Care Centre, and People’s Legal Centre. Together, we are taking a stand against gender-based violence and building safer spaces — especially for women, q***r individuals, children, and young people in our communities.

As we reflected on the progress made in 2025 — from raising awareness to mobilising communities — we also challenged ourselves to go further. In 2026, we are stepping up our focus on survivor-centred legal awareness, protecting learners in schools, and strengthening advocacy in courts and clinics.

Young people of Philippi — your voice matters. Your leadership matters. Your courage matters. Join us as we build a culture of accountability, dignity, and care. The future of our community depends on all of us.

From a Simple Message to a Circle of Care

Sometimes, all it takes is the courage to send a message......
Over the Christmas holiday, an expectant young mother (name withheld to protect her dignity and privacy) reached out to Amandla Development through our page, asking for assistance with basic baby essentials. That message was more than a request for items — it was a quiet call for support during a tender and uncertain season of her life.
Then something beautiful happened.. Our community rallied together. Donations were mobilised, and soon baby clothes, bottles, a breast pump, breast pads, baby bum cream, and other essential items were collected — each one a tangible expression of care, love, and solidarity.

As she prepares to welcome her baby into the world, she does so knowing that a community stands with her. Thank you to everyone who continues to help us turn moments of vulnerability into moments of warmth and possibility.
