Eyomphakathi Foundation

Eyomphakathi Foundation is a non profit organization founded in 2014 before it was registered in 2019, with the aim to offer continued improvement of the quality of life of the disadvantaged women and children in the townships and rural areas, while at the same time seeking to assure an effective and efficient contribution by the rural economy to the national development process, through GBV and HIV Aids education, skills development and hunger elevation Eyomphakathi Foundation's founder, Hlengiwe Msomi, has always been passionate about empowering black people. Eyomphakathi was founded in honor of Makhosazana Ethelinha, her mother. When Hlengiwe was a child, Makhosazan suffered abuse. Hlengiwe suffered childhood trauma as a result of it. Throughout her life, Hlengiwe has admired her mother's strength and resilience, which she would like to keep alive through her foundation. Although she ( Makhosazana ) experienced episodes of aggression, she was still loveable, warm, and welcoming to others despite her suffering. She admired her mother as a child, but after her mother beat her, she felt useless because her mother neglected her. When Hlengiwe grew up, she learned and understood the condition of her mother, which sparked her desire to help other women and children.
