Join us in our mission to create lasting social change in undefined and beyond - Women Parliament | Township Economy
This concept was triggered by the need to establish the rational for township economy within the context of the historical social and economic background of South Africa. Township economy is about businesses and markets which are based in the townships operated by township entrepreneurs to meet both the primary and secondary needs of the community. In answering the question why, the current government supported the implementation of township economy? For obvious reasons it has been put in place to reduce inequality, unemployment whilst maximizing inclusivity and democratizing ownership and control of the economy. This informal market economy should primarily benefit the local enterprises to enable them to migrate to the formal or mainstream economy. Hence the name Kasi Women Parliament.
Women Parliament is a non-profit organization mainly for women and men, young and old, out of school and or in school youth within communities of South Africa primarily from rural areas, villages and townships. Women parliament is not a political party, it is a non-profit organization solely to ensure that government and the private sector invest their resources and services to townships in order to contribute holistically to socio economic development. The provision of quality services through the district development model has always been the primary objective of this organization. Kasi women parliament does not confine itself to economic empowerment of members, it also focuses on the social development aspect of communities ranging from poverty, joblessness, substance abuse, gender-based violence & femicide amongst other things, environmental management - Township Economy
