Lekgoro to honour women achievers
27 August 2007
The Gauteng MEC for Social Development, Kgaogelo Lekgoro, will honour women who have been doing good work in their communities to alleviate poverty and help the marginalised.
The intention is to encourage more people to be involved in Community Poverty Alleviation Programmes that are aimed at removing people from poverty to self-reliance. This is in line with the commemoration of the women's struggles that have inspired many women in communities to rise against adversity.
Trophies, certificates and cash prizes will be given to three winners. This is in recognition of the work done in women-driven poverty alleviation co-operatives, home-based care centres for child-headed households, poverty alleviation programmes at development centres, Early Childhood Development Centres, youth programmes and old age facilities.
Details are as follows:
Date: Friday, 31 August 2007
Time: 10h00 to 15h00
Venue: Gold Reef City Casino Convention Centre
