The 2nd Families Indaba with the theme, Parenting for Social Impact: How can
support for Families Impact Social Change? was organised in Salt River Community
House, Cape Town. The Indaba built on the learnings from 2022 with a focus on
ensuring government, the non-profit sector, academics and donors were able to
engage and network in an encouraging space.

The inaugural SAPPIN Families Indaba was the culmination of several years of SAPPIN’s vision to highlight the work of the organisations within SAPPIN as well as to draw attention to the collaboration and innovation of the network as a whole.

At the centre of the Indaba was the desire to share the critical importance of the role of families and support for families in South Africa. The Indaba foregrounded that the family and the support for the family (in all of its diversity) is at the centre of any sustainable change in this country.

The Indaba did not intend to provide false hope but rather acknowledge the real and complex challenges facing the country with a call for collaboration around what needs to be done.

The Families Indaba was made possible through the generous support of our sponsors. If you would like to get involved in any way or sponsor our upcoming Families Indaba, please get in touch - wilmi@sappin.org.za
