Movement for Good

From the About section of the website:

“The Movement for Good is a network of organisations that have come together to inspire and mobilise South Africans to become active citizens for good. Our vision is to build a country that lives its constitutional values, is safe, and has opportunity for all - so that we and our children have hope in our future.

The Movement aims to integrate organisations that are currently mobilising South Africans so that there is coherency and synergy across the various campaigns. All across our great nation, good people have been independently organising, tirelessly striving and selflessly building communities that care.

The Movement encourages every person to become an active citizen, to take action, any action, to make South Africa the country we all want to live in.”

There is a great deal of overlap between the activities of this organisation and what I’m trying to achieve. The main difference lies in the Movement for Good reflecting the concerns that presently dominate the experience of living in South Africa. This makes it more effective at dealing with pressing local issues, but less universally applicable.
