In honour of #InternationalWomensDay, we’re celebrating this year’s theme #InspireInclusion which emphasises the importance of diversity and inclusion in every aspect of society.

At BCW Africa, we believe in taking action to make a positive impact on our communities. That's why we're proud to commemorate “March Forth and Do Something Day” on 4th March, a day that encourages us to march forth towards progress.
In honour of this day, our team members dedicated some time to making a difference in their communities. Gomotsegang Motswatswe recently packed shoes and clothes for children at Siyabonga Children's Home in Germiston, while Melissa Naidoo organised a trash clean-up in her street. Ntandoyenkosinabadala Makhoba spent her day volunteering at a local garden, where they harvested goods to make food for homeless people in Johannesburg. Bridget von Holdt prepared a wholesome meal of veggies and chicken to feed about 40 homeless individuals. Leandré Morake volunteered to clean up at a pig and chicken farm!
These small acts of kindness and service can go a long way in making a difference.

From all of us at BCW Africa, we wish you a happy Easter filled with love, peace and joy 🤗

Lucky Nkhoma Head of Communications and Marketing of Bible Society of South Africa.
To all our colleagues, partners, friends and family,
It’s never been more important to check in with people and show them that you care.
Today we are launching the #stayINreachOUT initiative challenging YOU to reach OUT, while we are all required to stay IN. We hope you’ll help to move people through these difficult times.
Very simply it asks each one of us to identify a personal circle of contacts and commit to reaching out to them regularly, while we are all staying at home.
Please check out our video, create your own and challenge others in your circle to join the movement.
Let’s all #stayINreachOUT and be there for each other.
