At Fixing A Sister’s Crown (FASC), we are driven by personal experience. As a survivor of gender-based violence, Ronewa Mudau understood the desperate need for support. After enduring abuse for a decade, She realized the toll it took on her health and her children’s well-being and was left with nothing, That is why as an organization we empathize with the pain of having nowhere to go and no one to turn to. We’re here—to provide help, resources, and a safe haven for women in similar situations. We believe in empowering survivors and breaking the cycle of abuse, so no one feels alone or trapped.
We are proud to collaborate with valuable partners in our mission to combat gender-based violence. The Department of Social Development in Diepsloot and Grace Point Church have been instrumental in providing assistance and support. We are grateful to Clo and Valumax for generously offering their venue for our events. Representatives from Gauteng Social Development, the office of the ward councilor, community stakeholders’ leadership, and dedicated social workers actively participate as speakers, sharing their expertise. Our partnerships extend to Musengavhadzimu Primary School and Sunrise Secondary School, located in the Diepsloot informal settlement, where we work closely to raise awareness and provide resources. Together, with our esteemed partners, we are making a difference in the lives of those affected by gender-based violence, fostering a safer and more supportive community for all.
