Funding Proposal: Men and Boys as Allies in Child Protection Campaign
1. Title of the Project and Organisational Particulars
The proposed initiative is entitled Men and Boys as Allies in Child Protection: A Community-Based
Campaign to Prevent Statutory Rape in Limpopo. This project will be implemented by Child Welfare
Limpopo (CWL), an organisation dedicated to the protection and welfare of children across the
province. The organisation's head office is located at [Insert Address, Polokwane, Limpopo], and all
correspondence regarding this proposal should be directed to the Social Work Manager, [Insert Your
Name], who serves as the primary contact person. The organisation can be reached via email at
[Insert Email Address] or by telephone at [Insert Phone Number]. Child Welfare Limpopo holds
valid registration with the Department of Social Development as a Non-Profit Organisation and with
the South African Revenue Service as a Public Benefit Organisation, with registration numbers
[Insert NPO/PBO Registration Numbers]. For the purpose of funding transfers, the organisation's
banking details are provided as [Insert Bank Details].
The organisation's vision for this project is a Limpopo province where all children are safe from
sexual exploitation and abuse, and where men and boys are active and responsible partners in
upholding their rights. This vision is supported by a mission to proactively prevent statutory rape by
engaging men and boys as agents of change, fostering a culture of respect, and building community
resilience against gender-based violence and child sexual abuse through targeted, multi-platform
awareness campaigns.
The project seeks to achieve five primary objectives. Firstly, the campaign aims to increase
awareness and knowledge about statutory rape, its legal consequences, and its profound impact on
child victims and their families among men and boys in Limpopo by sixty percent by August 2026.
Secondly, the initiative intends to shift social norms and attitudes that condone or excuse the sexual
abuse of minors, promoting positive masculinity and respectful relationships. Thirdly, the project
will equip men and boys with the skills to identify and challenge harmful behaviours and practices
within their peer groups and communities. Fourthly, the campaign seeks to strengthen
community-based referral pathways, connecting men and boys to support services and encouraging
them to report suspected abuse. Finally, the project aims to foster collaboration between Child
Welfare Limpopo, community leaders, and partner organisations to create a unified front against
child sexual abuse.
2. Problem Statement
The recent case of a twenty-eight-year-old man from Limpopo being charged with the statutory rape
of a thirteen-year-old girl, who gave birth on Christmas Day 2024, serves as a stark illustration of a
pervasive crisis facing South African communities. This particular incident, while deeply disturbing,
is unfortunately not isolated but rather reflects a broader and deeply concerning pattern of sexual
violence against minors that has become endemic in South African society (BSW4804, 2020:6). The
Department of Social Development and the South African Police Service regularly report alarmingly
high statistics of sexual offences against children, pointing to a systemic failure in child protection
that demands urgent and sustained intervention.
