Today, we have the pleasure of welcoming Ellen Fischat, a dynamic social entrepreneur and co-facilitator deeply involved in this transformative project in Langa, Cape Town. Ellen offers unique insights into the critical nature of this initiative, shedding light on the challenges faced by South African women and how 'Girls Make The City' actively addresses issues of safety and inclusion.

As the co-founder of Inspiring African Women, Ellen is dedicated to empowering women through educational programs, aligning seamlessly with the goals of 'Girls Make The City.' Our discussion delves into the societal shifts that girls undergo as they navigate safety concerns in South Africa.

In this episode, Ellen emphasizes the significance of collaboration – not just in identifying challenges but also in recognizing the positive aspects of communities and working together to find solutions. Join us as we gain a fresh perspective on 'Girls Make The City' through Ellen's eyes. In 'Amplifying Voices,' we explore the unheard narratives that hold the key to creating truly inclusive solutions. Tune in and dive into this enriching conversation with Ellen Fischat.
