A message of love to all women
Ster-Status finalists held a golf day at Krugersdorp Golf Club to raise funds to improve the lives of women.
Women’s Month is here and there has never been a better time to encourage girls and young women to be the best versions of themselves.
Ster-Status, a women empowerment organisation, is here for all women of all walks of life and to continue spreading a message of hope, wisdom and guidance, they held their annual charity golf day at Krugersdorp Golf Club on August 3.
The organisation also aims to uplift young women and girls in bettering themselves and society. It also gives a platform for the less vulnerable members of society by highlighting the difficulties that many have to face due to them having little to no opportunities to improve their lives. The young contestants who were part of the empowerment programme made their way onto the golf course to raise funds for young women and girls, as well as other community organisations with the sole purpose of coming to aid the vulnerable.
The programme has collaborated with organisations such as the Fabulous Girl Charity Foundation, an organisation that aims to encourage girls to inspire each other they have taken part in initiatives such as charity programs, food, toys, treating children, and anything to lighten as much pressure and stress as possible.
Among other projects they have taken part in are collaborations with Matla A Bana, a non-profit organisation that aims to bring awareness to child abuse in South Africa. The initiatives they have taken part in include child wellness programmes, donations of comfort packs for children and school safety programmes.
Organiser of the event, Karin Muller was proud of the reception they received and hopes the event will be a stepping-stone to have a larger impact on women of all walks of life. She also hopes it will send a message of inspiration to all women.
“Women empowerment is very dear to my heart. My message to all women and girls is to cement your feet in the world because there is space for everyone.”
Leigh-Ann Fourie, a presenter for Ster-Status Season 5 and title-holder of Ster-Status Season 4, believes that women have a greater role to play for society and that Ster-Status is the best platform to get that encouragement. It also sends a message of love to all women.
“Don’t stop believing in yourself, stop worrying about everything and anything around you, you are your biggest competition. Always strive to be further than you were yesterday,” said Fourie.
