Why BuildingFutures Worldwide is doing something?
Education and LeadershipAfrican_Western WomanGirls and women play a crucial role in the preservation of livelihoods, environmental, cultural and societal cohesiveness. When social disintegration takes place in families, communities and countries, women are relied upon to rebuild social relationships and the social fabric of human living through care and nurturing invest their income back into their families, so their success is critical to the ability of their children also to escape poverty, whatever their gender.


Millennium Development Goals
Past progress and present potential are threatened by recurrent problems of bad attitude, persistent poverty, hunger and environmental degradation. Unwavering action is necessary if these challenges are to be met. Girls/ Women can be society’s sustainable solution to reducing poverty and hunger, illiteracy, violence and conflict, inequality, disease, child/ mother deaths, environmental and degradation. Girls and women are vital in the struggle against domestic violence, slowing population growth and accelerating economic development when their perspectives are visible in the policies made and implemented.
Sustainable Development
Mainstreaming gender has not often proved to be an effective way of meaningfully reaching girls and women or addressing their particular needs and priorities. There is still much to be done to ensure all the commitments made to girls and women across the world over the last 25 years are achieved.
Advocacy and Awareness
We are directing greater emphasis and focus on the girl/ woman advancement. Our work centers on identifying, sharing, adopting and setting up sustainable initiatives that expand choices in order to build up full potentials of girls to become dependable citizens. We are relying on the vast resources, knowledge and collaboration work with institutions, corporations, individuals and leaders like you at local, district, national, regional and international levels to present new coalitions against rampant suffering and promote sustainable girl and women’s rights.

OUR COMMUNITY LEADER BABALUKU SHOW HIS SUPPORT ON TRACK 20 with EBIBUZO (MEANING THE QUESTIONS) OR EMBUZO FOR THE XHOSA SPEAKING COMRADES
http://soundcloud.com/khulumanisupportgroup/03-embuzo-the-questions

 Khulumani Support Group has officially thanked the Emcees for their contribution to the OFFICIALLY OFFSIDE COMPILATION.
It has been profiled on several South African and international websites.
The compilation is an advocacy tool that we are using to put the Khulumani lawsuit and broader issues of corporate accountability on the public agenda.
These are obviously tricky and delicate issues and believe me, the corporations involved are not taking this lying down.

Always a big thank you to Nomadic Wax for it is that fam that drew all of you into what has become a truly successful project.

Apologies to Babaluku for the misspelling of the song title 'Ebibuzo'. The spelling is very close to the Xhosa word that also means Questions and so we unconsciously and incorrectly changed the spelling into our South African version during the design process.

We had to exclude some tracks on the basis that there was very obvious sampling. We didn't want to get into trouble; or get Khulumani into trouble!
