Welcome to Ewe Masenze, Inc.  The not for profit organization which makes good things happen  in South Africa

Our Mission

The primary mission of Ewe Masenze (Yes, Let's do it) is to create sustainable and constituency based social and economic development projects in South Africa.

Within this mission, there are other purposes or objectives:

1. To train township residents to design, manage and sustain their projects.
2. To provide the expert guidance and mentorship necessary for successful projects.
3. To promote cross-cultural understandings and exchanges between USA Americans and South Africans.
4. To utilize expertise from both the developed and developing world to create sustainable projects.
5. To promote a democratic and institutional organizing model for success when appropriate.
6. To study the projects for future replication including in other parts of Africa.

OK, WHAT IS THE SIMPLE VERSION OF THIS  MISSION?

The Ewe Masenze Inc. raises funds from individuals for development projects in South Africa, in which experts and township residents are partners. 

These funds are used in one of three ways:

1. Ewe Masenze organizes township resident leaders, who are volunteers, into groups or working circles to be trained, to select development priorities, and to do, that is, make the projects happen.  These volunteers are selected or elected by their churches, schools, civic organizations or cultural groups.
2. Ewe Masenze can also assist either with money or expertise grass roots projects already in existence in South Africa, that were created and managed by township residents.  For the most part, Ewe Masenze will support projects it creates.
3. Ewe Masenze can use its funds to leverage other monies from foundations, international donors, and the South African government.
