Mission statement:
The Rural Women's Movement (RWM) of South Africa based in KwaZulu Natal is an independent non-profit rural women’s land and property rights organization that seeks to eliminate poverty through programs designed to provide training on women’s land and property rights, enhance women’s participation in local governance. RWM advocates for women’s independent land, housing, inheritance and property rights and lobby for public policy changes. RWM also provides training on how to respond strategically to the AIDS pandemic. While nurturing orphaned children’s capacity to deal with the loss of their parents RWM also strive to deepen children’s commitment to pro-social values such as personal responsibility, helpfulness, respect for others and kindness – qualities RWM believes are essential to leading humane and productive lives in a democratic society.
