Our commitment goes beyond financial support; we prioritize safety and empowerment in every aspect of our operations.

Premier Ntuli's focus on combating crime and enhancing citizen safety aligns with our mission to create a secure environment for all, especially women and children. Through initiatives like our design hackathons, we address critical issues such as gender-based violence (GBV) and public safety by leveraging technology and community collaboration.
