Unite as One

The Helen Suzman Foundation has joined the Unite as One campaign to collect a million signatures across South Africa. The aim of the campaign is to create a South African society in which people notwithstanding their language or country of origin, respect each other and live together peacefully. The campaign is using a common pledge as a tool to transmit a positive message of unity as widely as possible across South African society to encourage individuals and groups to take action.
The iniative has been set in motion by the Black Sash, PASSOP, the Scalabrini Centre of Cape Town and the Sonke Gender Justice Network.
We invite all Friends of the Foundation to join us in our support. To pledge there is a link on our home page - www.hsf.org.za
