Women's Day in Greenbury (KZN)

On 3 August 2007, a local NGO Phoenix JARP (with support of DDP) hosted their first Women’s Day event at Redfern Community Hall. The area in Phoenix that was targeted mainly was Rinkgreen Place, Greenbury. The area was selected because of the high poverty rate as well as the rife crime and drug related matters taking place.

The aim of this event was to empower women to make a positive contribution to society and their community. Our aim was to empower these women to get out of poverty and showing them ways of being self-employed. This was done by giving them peace bracelets - a symbol of peace and prosperity.
