#PartnerHighlight Alert✨

Luyando School in Ndola, Zambia welcomed a team from Beyond Ourselves - our partner organisation- for a Dream and Dare Day. The school’s grade sevens went on a transformative journey of #Identiy #Belong & #Purpose while addressing misconceptions and stigmas that have impacted their society for generations.

It was particularly encouraging to have their head teacher - who had attended a Beyond Ourselves facilitator training - join us for the day!

Thank you to Beyond Ourselves for its commitment to the Dignity Campaign and most importantly, its commitment to their community.

The Dignity Campaign's Awareness Workshop at Bay City Church

Hey DC Fam, we had the privilege of facilitating an impactful workshop at @baycitychurchcpt on God’s Heart for Sex. With 30 participants in attendance, the space was filled with open conversations and meaningful discussions. It is important to dive deep into understanding God's design for sex and the importance of approaching this topic with love and a biblical perspective.

We encourage parents, caregivers and church leaders to continue guiding these conversations at home and within their communities. Let’s keep fostering open, honest discussions, grounded in God’s truth.

Hey DC Family!

Check out some of the incredible work being done by our Dignity Campaign partners in Cote D'Ivoire!

At the end of 2024, The Jane Vandenberg Institution organised a Dream Day for the girls—an event filled with learning, reflection, and celebration. The day's theme was all about redemption and identity,—how each girl is uniquely created by God. As the school year continues, we are excited to see how the seeds planted on Dream Day will continue to grow, shaping the future of these young women.

The Dignity Campaign empowers teenagers to discover their identity, find belonging, and embrace their purpose.

We can equip teens with the essentials and education they need to thrive in school, life, and beyond.

Join us in showing teenagers their true value. Together, we can build confidence, healthy habits, and self-respect🌻

#throwbackthursday to our Zambia training! After the exciting visit from Beyond Ourselves , we’re feeling rather nostalgic! Malama was one of our trainees who participated in the facilitator training and we thought we’d share her takeaway with you!

We’re thankful to have spent some time with Daniel, Kirsty and Sheba from @beyondourselves who visited our offices in Cape Town from Zambia.

Meet Mandy,

We’re so excited to have Mandy as one of our mentors for our mentorship program this year. Her commitment to see teens thrive in her community is infectious.

Mandy’s purpose is to make sure that everyone who interacts with her is seen, loved, and feels safe. She does this by putting Christ at the centre of her life.

During the day, Mandy is a high school coordinator & mentor at @beautifulgatesa, Philippi. Mandy with a team of tutors, parents, and teachers, coordinate afterschool programmes.

Mandy says working with the youth, particularly youth from vulnerable backgrounds, is one of her passions. She desires to help them realise their potential and for them to know that their upbringing doesn’t have to be their future.

Mandy is a woman who rocks!

#thedignitycampaign #womensmonth #identity #belonging #purpose #mentor

As part of #womensmonth, we want to give a shout out to Nasiphi! A girl who absolutely ROCKS!!!

#thedignitycampaign #identity #belonging #purpose

Picture it, close your eyes and envision the setting;

A woman, notorious for her past misdeeds, walks into a room filled with religious leaders, predominantly men, uninvited. She approaches Jesus, kneels behind Him, weeps at his feet, uses her hair to wipe her tears, and anoints him. The religious group in shock begin to shout & shame her, saying; "Jesus, do you recognise this woman? Do you know what she has done?" Then, Jesus, having turned around to look directly at the woman addresses Simon (one imagines who is now behind Jesus) & asks, " Do you see this woman?"

Instantly, all eyes in the room would have turned towards her. She has been seen!

#TheDignityCampaign #Womensmonth #identity #belonging #purpose

Jennifer is a qualified special needs facilitator and ECD teacher who resides in Athlone. Her love and passion for working with children & teenagers led her to join the Dignity Campaign as a mentor. Having completed her facilitator training, Jennifer felt a nudge from God to play a part in the nurturing of young girls. After overcoming some fears, she proceeded to accept the call from God.

Her mentees speak fondly of the open space of safety and freedom that Jennifer created for them. Often humorously referring back to times when all the girls would spend hours at Jennifer's house on a Saturday, talking, laughing, dancing, eating and just being themselves.

Jennifer is a woman who rocks!

From Mentee to Facilitator!

Kasha (left) joined our program in 2022 with a heart full of curiosity and a drive to grow, guided by her mentor and Dignity Campaign OG; Wendy Abrahams.

Fast forward to the 2023 Champion Camps, and we were overjoyed to see Kasha return, not as a participant but as a camp facilitator! Her journey is a testimony to the transformative power of mentorship. Her positive spirit, willingness, and support for others speak volumes about the nurturing environment created by her mentor and her own commitment.

We’re beyond proud of Kasha and can’t wait to see the amazing impact she’ll continue to make! 🌟

Part 2: Dare Day in Benin!!🧡

Our newly trained facilitators in Benin have successfully implemented our 1 day Dare Program in their local church, inspiring young boys to become confident, responsible, and informed leaders. 🙌 Through interactive sessions and engaging activities, these young minds are being encouraged to engage with their #identity #belonging & #purpose . We’re proud of our facilitators for making a positive impact in their community! #DareDay #YouthEmpowerment #Benin #CommunityDevelopment #thedignitycampaign

“Back from an incredible journey to Benin! 🌍🙌 Our Dare facilitators travelled to Benin and shared our Dare program with faithful men ready to receive & implement the program with teen boys in their communities. It was a resounding success, as the men Dared to be Different. Keep an eye out for our next post as we share about the #Dareday, that the now trained facilitators implemented in their local church with young boys. #TheDignityCampaign #Daretobedifferent #CommunityLeaders #Identity #belonging #Purpose #DareinBenin
