Welcome to Basadi Skills Development
Strengthen a Community. Transform a Generation.
Basadi, meaning "Woman" in Sepedi, was established on the 15th of February 2013 as one of Tshega Christian Mission’s transformative programs. Rooted in a vision to uplift and empower rural women, Basadi was created in response to the many challenges faced by women in underserved communities.
By providing skills development, employment opportunities, and holistic support, the program seeks to break the cycle of poverty and create sustainable change in the lives of women and their families.

Rural women, who constitute one-fourth of the world’s population, continue to face more difficulty than men in accessing public services, social protection, employment and markets, due to cultural norms, security issues and lack of identification documents. These women have not enjoyed the privilege of skills development and quality education, resulting in unemployment that is staggering. Family planning, health, safety, gender equality and abuse are only a few of the social challenges most women face on a daily basis.
Many families only have a mother to depend on for their needs. Women are mostly care takers; they look after children, relatives, prepare meals and manage homes within the rural village environment. Added to these tasks they spend long hours collecting water and firewood. Despite these responsibilities women have significantly less access to resources and the services they need to increase their productivity and their income.
Basadi is focused on the theme of empowerment of rural women and their role in eradicating poverty and hunger, through holistic transformation, skills development and employment opportunities for the women of the surrounding villages.
A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.
~ Proverbs 31:10-13
