A VOICE IN OUR NATION


​Mfesane works closely with government and other organisations to influence policy: standing together on campaigns like the rights of women and children for education, health and protection.

We believe in being a voice to speak up for justice and wholeness in our communities, and in our nation.
​
​Together we can be a positive influence on policy creation and implementation.
