Talitha Koum Women Empowerment

alitha Koum Women Empowerment is a South African non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering girls, young women, and vulnerable families through mentorship, leadership development, life-skills training, entrepreneurship support, and community-based programmes. Inspired by the biblical call to "arise," we work to help young women overcome barriers such as poverty, unemployment, gender-based violence, limited access to opportunities, and low self-confidence. Our flagship programme, ARISE360, supports adolescent girls and young women, particularly those who are not in education, employment, or training (NEET), through a holistic approach that focuses on healing, learning, and leadership. We create safe spaces for personal growth, provide mentorship and psychosocial support, connect participants to skills development and economic opportunities, and help them build the confidence and resilience needed to thrive. Our goal is to equip young women to become economically active, purpose-driven leaders who can positively impact their families and communities.
