Please join us in celebrating the goodness of the Lord on how He has thus far helped us in His work. This report presents some of the exciting developments that happened at Zimele Wethu in the month of November, 2015.

We continue to be grateful to God and all the friends of Zimele Wethu who have been praying for us, sending us words of encouragement and funding the work on the ground. There are several exciting developments at Zimele Wethu and below are some of the highlights of the month.

Throughout the month of October we have been encouraged, through the reading of scriptures and the people God is bringing to be part of Zimele Wethu Foundation, that strong and sound relationships are key to the growth of any organisation. The proverb above has been our theme for the month. It has encouraged us to not only be inward looking, but to go out and connect with as many people as possible who will work with us to realise the dream of empowering, economically and socially, 8 000 poor women in rural and township communities of KwaZulu Natal by 2020. We therefore want to, through this report, share our new connections, office and field work activities, and achievements for the month of October.

This report on Zimele Wethu, shares the work done in the month of September in which we spent much of our time establishing a strong foundation for the organisation. Zimele Wethu is a new organisation founded to socially and economically empower women, youth and men in the communities of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. It is our passion that Zimele Wethu will be set as a model for other non-profit organisations in South Africa and beyond. This is why we desire more partners and experts in various fields to journey with us as we work to create self- sustaining communities for this generation and generations to come.
