No More Victim Summit held in Mossel Bay: The annual summit has been arranged this year to be a pre-amble to the 16 Days of No Violence against Women and Children. The objectives of the summit included promoting equal opportunities for women and are aligned with the SADC Codes. A Pilot Project Omni engaged and partnered with The Shoprite Trust, fitted perfectly into these objectives. Questions raised by the judges about the sustainability and replication possibilities of the model (Pilot Project), posed to the Omni representative Amanda Stevens on Thursday 21st November at the Presentation event. There were representatives from other SADC countries and other international guests in attendance as well. The fact that OMNI is 100% women owned was received well. We competed in the category for Local Economic Development.
