Transformative Support for Women and Girls
At Amhloch, we stand with women and girls in South Africa, championing their rights, amplifying their voices, and fostering environments where they can thrive and lead empowered lives. Based in the rural areas of the Eastern Cape, our organization is committed to addressing the unique challenges that women and girls face, including threats to their land rights, access to education, health, and economic opportunities. Amhloch is dedicated to uplifting women and girls by advocating for their rights, protecting their land, and providing opportunities for economic growth and education. Join us as we work toward a future where every woman can thrive. Our core programs are designed to provide transformative support that empowers women and girls in profound and lasting ways. Each program addresses critical areas of need and works towards creating systemic change that enhances their quality of life and opportunities for future success. Here’s how we make a difference:
Transformative Impact: Women in rural South Africa often face unjust evictions and land rights violations due to discriminatory practices. Our Legal Advocacy program offers critical support by providing emergency legal services to protect women’s land and property rights. Through legal representation, advocacy, and policy reform efforts, we ensure that women can retain their ancestral lands and secure their economic futures. This program not only defends individual rights but also contributes to long-term systemic changes in land ownership laws.

Transformative Impact: Economic independence is a cornerstone of empowerment. Our Economic Empowerment program helps women break free from poverty by providing training in entrepreneurship, access to microfinance, and opportunities for market integration. By equipping women with the skills and resources needed to start and grow businesses, we enable them to generate income, support their families, and contribute to their community’s economic development. This program creates sustainable livelihoods and fosters economic resilience, transforming women’s lives and their communities.
