Talking about how the organisation came about, Mdlalose said, “I have always had a vision of uniting women after being in an abusive relationship. I then realised that women did not have a place where they pour out their emotions. I then came up with the idea of having events where women gather and discuss issues they face daily and try to bring about solid solutions to each problem. This was to also help women find their ground and be independent.”
As the organisation grew and started catering for young girls and teenagers and is now looking towards catering for a boy child.
