#BetterTogether

Sparrows may be small, seemingly insignificant birds; but because of their strength in numbers strategy, they are able to survive famine, droughts and large predators. Sparrow Society is built on this principle of Ubuntu – that we are inextricably linked and when we work together, we can go from merely surviving, to THRIVING!

Our Mission Statement

Working Together towards a more equal and unified society through skills development, job creation and enterprise development.

Moving away from the traditional relief and aid model and into a sustainable and holistic economic empowerment model, our focus is on creating dignifying and viable economic opportunities predominantly for women in a range of industries. Sparrow Society provides job skills & entrepreneurship training alongside ongoing business support. We also provide a central procurement and marketing hub that is able to manage large contracts, and ensure quality control and logistics to our global clients.
core objectives

Gender Based Violence is a reality that many women in South Africa face. It has been proven that when women are able to financially sustain themselves, they are less vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. By providing economic opportunities for women, we are restoring the power back into her hands to protect herself, provide for her family, and reach for a better future.

"We are not in the business of creating products. We are in the business of creating options - real options." - Kate Brim-Senekal, Founder & Managing Director
