Transparency Initiatives
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Thagende, we believe that true social impact can only be achieved through unwavering transparency and accountability. Our commitment to openness is not just a policy—it's the foundation of our work in Johannesburg and beyond.
We understand that trust is gaineded through consistent, honest communication and verifiable actions. That's why we've implemented a series of transparency initiatives that allow our community members, partners, and supporters to see exactly how we operate and where every rand goes.
Open Books Policy
We maintain a policy of complete financial transparency. Our books are open for public scrutiny, ensuring that every donation and expenditure is accounted for and justified.
Project Tracking Dashboard
Our interactive dashboard allows anyone to track the progress of our projects in real-time. From inception to completion, you can see how initiatives are developing and impacting our communities.
Community Feedback Loop
We've established a robust feedback system that encourages community members to share their thoughts, concerns, and suggestions openly. This ensures our work remains relevant and impactful.
Ensuring Accountability in Partnerships
Our commitment to transparency extends to all our partnerships. We carefully vet and monitor our collaborations to ensure they align with our values and contribute positively to our mission of empowering local voices and driving social change in South Africa.
