Being part of the change you want to see?

As part of our Donate for Good journey, we reached out to Thandulwazi Academy, an organization that aids and equips school learners and educators to contribute to South African education.

For the first time, we’ll be including NotInMyName International, one of South Africa’s leading civil society organizations, on our platform. With this, INVSTRs will be able to invest while lending a hand to the organization, as they continue to make a bigger impact in our society.

Who is NotInMyName International?

Not In My Name International NPC (NIMNI) is a social justice movement and lobby group leading the #NotInMyName campaign on Gender equality advocacy, social relief of the distressed, as well as education and skills development. The organization scope of work is in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals 2, 4, 5 and 6; while aiming to strengthen the foundations of democracy by assisting citizens to understand and use the power they possess through the constitution.

 


Our mandate is inspired by the four essential principles of social justice - human rights, access, participation and equity.

To explain further, we spoke to Siyabulela Jentile, President and founder of NotInMyName International, who said:
