“However, I need to fill my own shoes and take ownership of who I am as a woman in my community before filling up cups.”

A lot of times women embody the need to serve those that look up to them, they carry on their shoulders the urgency of always placing someone before their needs.

However, it becomes impossible to fill up the next person’s cup without understanding who you are and pouring unto self.

“You need to instil good morals within you as a woman and work on yourself. It is important to first be the peace you want to spread, the love you want share and mostly the help you aim to give,” said Ntsoeng.

The purpose of the organizations is generally to improve quality of life for others at a community, local, state, national, or even global level.

According to Ravona Sauls, this initiative is another solution and weapon to help the community fight against social ills they are facing each day.

“It is a reminder to young girls that teenage pregnancy is not a norm that and consuming substances is not something to be gloried.” said Sauls. “It is still necessary to strive for extraordinary in Eldorado Park even if you have to be the only one that chooses their future instead of succumbing to the ordinary life of a township girl or boy.”

Ensley Britoe, founder of Gail Britoe foundation shared his heart on how this foundation will make great impact for the young girls in their community. “No ordinary woman foundation is going to have a positive impact on our community. We are losing our young girls but I believe there is light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to this initiative.”
