“Availing opportunities to those who lack them is our passion. At Siboniwe Foundation Trust, we are a group of multi-professional women of Zimbabwean origin. Our mission is to promote, encourage and advocate for kindness towards the overall well-being of women and girls who end up involved in the criminal justice system, whether they are awaiting trial or have been convicted and are serving their sentences in our prison system. It is our greatest wish to encourage society. Through our efforts, we have realized the desperate need for holistic support for children navigating society without their mothers. Access to education is one of the main contributors to the lack of opportunities for these children affected by matERnal incarceration- organizations like Fambisa Isizwe bridge that gap.”
