#BuildOur
Communities
Our advocacy is community-driven, led by and with the people, ensuring that those directly affected are heard and equiped to create meaningful change.
Political Leadership Education Course
Through knowledge, we empower civil society organisers to become bold, ethical leaders who drive meaningful change. With the skills, integrity, and vision to fix the state, they will lead the charge towards a just and equal society.
About the Course
Through 6 months of in-depth learning under a political, ethical and people-centred framework, the PLE course will guide a cohort of 20 activists through a journey of transformation. The course is made up of 2x three month long modules covering:
- South Africa’s History
- Structures and Functions of Local and National Government
- Movements in History
Using literacy and writing as a tool of liberation, along with centering participants lived experiences, participants will have the opportunity to sharpen their activism, and improve their leadership and analytical skills.

Disability Revolution
Nothing about us, without us.
Disability Revolution is activist movement of people living with disabilities. We demand nothing short of a revolution of thinking, a revolution of programmes, and practices. A revolution where plans and law are in line with the Constitution and South Africa’s international obligations.
Our Focus
Transport
We are fighting for safe, reliable and universally accessible transport, that reaches people with disabilities in informal settlements.
Health
We demand that clinics find delivery points in each health district to minimise the strain and expense of travel to get our treatment. We also demand that we are prioritised at hospitals, and treated with respect.
Dignity
We want to achieve a greater sense of understanding and solidarity within our communities so that the damaging misconceptions and stigmas around disability do not cause barriers in our day to day lives.
