Empower Shigamani This Giving Tuesday!
Giving Tuesday is much more than just a day — it’s a global movement to build a better world through the power of giving. This year, you have the chance to drive transformation in South Africa through our Empower Shigamani project.
Moving into 2026, here are some of our urgent needs:
1. A Pick-Up Truck: $12,000
The bakery’s sales are growing fast, and an additional vehicle is needed to reach more villages and deliver bread early each morning. We want to purchase a good used truck, which will allow us to increase our delivery routes, helping even more families access daily bread and creating more jobs.
Building Plans:
Our project has acquired land in the village where we plan to build the Dunamis House, Training Center & Lodge, bakery expansion, and future butchery.
2. Wall Around the New Property: $8,500
A wall will protect the property, all the equipment, and its future buildings.
3. Storage and Apartment for the Caretaker: $6,000
Space to ensure that the property and its operations are well cared for and safe.
4. Construction of the Dunamis House: $45,000
This will replace the house we currently rent, which is 30 minutes away. The new base inside the village will save daily travel time, give teams more opportunities for meaningful connection, and allow us to disciple and serve the community more effectively. It will also serve as a lodge to house people for training sessions.
We invite you to invest in these projects. Your donation will make a real and lasting difference in our efforts to build stronger, more self-sufficient communities. In 2026, we will be reaching beyond Shigamani into neighboring villages. Together, we will continue to empower South Africa’s future, one family at a time.
Thank you for walking this journey with us, for believing in this vision, and for investing in building something that will outlast all of us.
