Lorsque le Fonds de développement de la femme africaine a invité Lorato Moalusi-Sakufiwa au programme de leadership et de gouvernance du CEO Forum, une initiative de renforcement des capacités, cela planterait une petite graine qui porterait ses fruits sur une large portée des programmes de l’organisation. « Pour moi, j'ai acquis des compétences en leadership et ensuite dirigé cette organisation afin que, à son tour, it can start building the capacity of other organisations, was a big impact,” said MoalusiSakufiwa. “There was value in being in a partnership with the leadership programme because we were able to support the leadership of other organisations.”
Moalusi-Sakufiwa is the director of the Kagisano Society Women’s Shelter in Botswana and, en 2013, the organisation received USD 20,000 from the AWDF, under their Women’s Human Rights thematic area, in order to keep the organisation’s shelter running through the provision of adequate bedding, cooking utensils and improved safety measures. The Kagisano Society Women’s Shelter was established in1998 in response to violence against women (VFF) in Botswana.

The shelter does so by providing temporary shelter, des recommandations, community education and outreach, and completing advocacy on critical issues connected to the security of women.
