Fundraising Breakfasts
Join us for an intimate breakfast with your friends or colleagues. WHEAT has the venue and all you need to do is round up your nine guests and be the host to raise funds for our programmes. We provide the breakfast, you help us gather the bucks!
1000 Women Lunch
1000 Women United against Domestic Violence and Poverty is our premium advocacy and donor education event. The luncheon has established itself as a recognisable brand. The annual 1000 Women luncheon provides a platform for women to share information and raise awareness about South African legislation on domestic violence and poverty reduction in the country.
1000 Women's Global Feast
The 1000 Women's Global Feast aims to have 1000 women in each city aroud the world celebrating the movement of women supporting each other.
“Girl Talk” Teen Workshops
WHEAT encourages leadership in girls and has a responsibility to educate younger women, who all have the potential to be agents of change. We empower these girls who, through the workshop, realise that despite their varying circumstances, they experience the same challenges when it comes to drug abuse, peer pressure, sex and gender issues. The workshops are tailored to bridge the gaps and provide a safe space to explore sound and responsible answers to the girls’ questions.
Grantee Seminars & Workshops
WHEAT Women's Fund creates opportunities for her grantees to network through seminars and workshops. These convenings are very important as it provides WHEAT with insight into the impact of the grants. We are able to gauge the impact of services by the grantees to communities. It also provides opportunities for discussion and brainstorming solutions to any challenges they might face in the day to day running of their projects. Relevant speakers are invited to share their knowledge and experiences on the chosen topic.EAT Women's Fund
WHEAT encourages grantees to communicate with each other and form partnerships. The seminars bring women leaders together and create platforms to engender a sense of belonging and a root for ongoing communication and collaborative work. “Dialogue is a tool to powerful women’s movements.” (Prof Amina Mama, WHEAT seminar & awards 2006, March). There are various platforms that WHEAT takes advantage of in order to network with and engage other women’s organisations. We will continue to identify these opportunities and share the platforms with our grantees to advance their development.
