Organisational Sustainability

Sustainability of the work undertaken is achieved through negotiated strategic partnerships with the South African Government and other NGOs. It is envisaged that through these partnerships, the said interventions will continue once Kheth' Impilo's support of a particular activity ends.

Organisational sustainability will be achieved through the diversification of the donor base and ensuring that the organisation continues to be relevant to the needs of the country.
