Welcome to Shybuilds, where we are dedicated to providing valuable resources in support of single working mothers and their children. Our mission aligns with South Africa’s broader empowerment goals, ensuring that families thrive together.
At SheBylds Foundation, our mission is to empower single working mothers and their children across South Africa. We strive to provide essential resources and support aimed at helping these families achieve stability and dignity in their daily lives, particularly through our support initiatives.
Our name translates as follows:
SheBylds: She Builds
She: Support Healing and Empowerment
Builds: Rebuilding family structures that are anchored in restorative programmes, contributing to South Africa empowerment for working mothers.
Many single working mothers earn too much to qualify for government or institutional funding, yet struggle to meet the rising costs of education, emotional wellbeing, and household stability. While women continue to rise into professional roles, the absence of shared parental responsibility often leaves families vulnerable.
SheBylds Foundation exists to close this gap, ensuring that mothers and children are supported, restored, and empowered to thrive.
We deliver holistic, faith-anchored programmes that strengthen families and promote long-term stability.
Healing
