At the heart of GRIT lies a deeply personal ‘why.’ In 2020, tragedy struck within our founder’s family when her 19-year-old niece, nine months pregnant, lost her life due to Gender-Based Violence. This heart-wrenching incident became the catalyst for the birth of Kwanele NGO and our revolutionary Kwanele mobile app.

Driven by the belief that technology can be a force for good, we are on a mission to break down barriers survivors face in reporting violence and achieving justice. Our ‘why’ is rooted in ensuring more people not only report their cases but, more importantly, have their voices heard and their experiences acknowledged.
