When ladies join Her Voice, it's often due to the

When ladies join Her Voice, it's often due to the need of tangible support - new moms in need if nappies, a mother of 3 in need of medical assistance.
.
But what they find is much more: other mothers with shared experiences. Women who understand the pain and fears and doubts. Women who dream big dreams and who have won difficult battles.
.
As Her Voice, we have contemplated how to track such growth. And when are mamas ARE in a position to sustain themselves, how do they ”transition” out without the relational heartbreak of exiting their support system?
.
So we finally came up with a plan.
.
Upon joining the group, each lady will fill out a ”contract” with personal short, medium, and long-term goals.
.
There will be regular check-ins. And one of the questions is: How long will you need financial assistance aka ”points”.
.
When they have achieved this, they will STILL be in the HV family, but give up their spot to earn points.
.
We hope that by this time they will be in a leadership position, themselves!
.
Everyone is on a different journey, which is why each contract is tailored to the individual. But we already saw sparks flying as they began to articulate their dreams into paper yesterday.
.
We are really excited to start achieving together and to be able to celebrate so much more at the end of this year!
.
Continue to pray for and support these mamas as they make real changes to be the best they can be for their families and themselves!
.
There are generations waiting to follow them and they are changing the trajectory for the good!

This is one of our mentors @charismatical_1 (happens to have a Bachelor of social work and is currently doing her Honours Studies in Social Athropology at @stellenboschuni ) and she is a gift from Heaven and tomorrow she will be facilitating our first support group with a focus in grief.
.
If you've been following our journey, you've seen that we have been working hard on strengthening the mental health leg of our organization.
.
You've seen @ros_koch swim from Robben Island to the mainland to raise awareness and R70k to put towards this cause! And now we are starting to put the efforts and funds to good use.
.
This will hopefully be the first of many support groups to come, as we navigate the various, shared traumas within our group of women.
.
Join us in praying for this first group as they begin to share and process and heal.
.
We are expectant for what freedom God wants to bring and praising Him for bringing the perfect people to make this happen. We so gratrful that we are finally here!

Mentorship looks like iced coffee and cake.
.
We are finally picking up momentum with our leaders this year, after last year being such a drag.
.
We are now at the point where a majority of our Sunday sessions are being led by the ladies in the group and the small group leaders.
.
We are so proud!

We spent this Mothers Day giving and receiving words of affirmation, eating donuts, and talking about our bodies - which, if you've gone through the process of childbirth, you're likely even MORE aware of how amazing the body can be!
.
Last Sunday @abi_abongile and @aviweqwaka of @helpagirlcampaign joined our @ros_koch in conversation around how to address puberty and sexuality with our children and explored different options for our own ”times of the month”.
.
This Sunday, for Part 2, we were joined by @sea_to_summit_extreme to discuss the rights we have over our bodies and to speak about the often taboo and shameful topics pertaining to womens health.
.
We left empowered with knowledge for ourselves and excited to put it into practice as we guide our own children.
.
Thanks for all who contributed to these sessions! Knowledge is power, mothers are brave, and to see the combination is inspiring!

This week it was the International Day of the Midw

This week it was the International Day of the Midwife and we just happened to have a very fitting meeting. Former Her Voice mentor @jana_bothma is working towards opening a pregnancy care centre in Stellenbosch for women and families who find themselves in crisis due to unplanned pregnancy. Our doulas-in-training Phathiswa and Nomhlobo, as well as a few other Her Voice ladies got to hear about the plans and vision for the centre.

We’re super excited about how Her Voice and the centre can work together and support each other and, most importantly, the women and babies in our communities.

If this is something you’re interested in being part of, feel free to contact @jana_bothma!
