    An evaluation of empowering volunteers for capacity-building: a case study of Women for Peace, Nobantu Centre, Mfuleni, Western Cape
    (University of the Western Cape, 2007) Burrows, Michelle Isabel; Lees, Marion Keim; Institute for Social Development; Faculty of Arts
    This thesis explored the empowerment needs of volunteer members of Women for Peace at the Nobantu Centre, Mfuleni in the Western Cape. The volunteer members, the majority of whom are women, come from a previously disadvantaged background created by the Apartheid system used in South Africa from 1948-1994. Apartheid driven education purposefully taught an inferior form of education to the black masses. This case study investigated the needs of the volunteer members, the impact that the four empowerment programmes had on the volunteer members and their future needs after being empowered.
