Family Policy Institute (FPI) joined “Civil Society for the Geneva Consensus Declaration Coalition” an international coalition of pro-life & pro-family groups formed at a special meeting at the UN to promote the “Geneva Consensus Declaration” (GCD) globally.

More great news is the international coalition of nations supporting the tenets of the Geneva Consensus Declaration has grown to 46 countries. Three more nations signed the GCD at an event on the side-lines of the of the UN General Assembly in New York.

Why this is important, is the growing coalition of pro-life and pro-family nations will soon become a powerful voting bloc at the United Nations to advance policies that defend and protect the sanctity of human life, preserve marriage as the union of one man and one woman and the primacy of the family as the natural and fundamental group unit of society.

The GCD also promotes policies to restore the immense value of the roles of fatherhood and motherhood in society, the protection of parental authority and rights, protect children from indoctrination in education and strengthen religious freedom rights globally.

FPI and the “African Christian Professionals Forum” (ACPF) support the tenets of the GCD and will help grow the coalition in Africa. I also forged important partnerships in the US to strengthen our civil justice work in SA in “Rescue SA Civil Rights Alliance” (RSACRA).

Critically, while my efforts in FPI, RSACRA and the ACPF have grown in scope and intensity – the finances to fund my vital work has not kept pace. I am presented with major opportunities to advance my work in SA – but lack the funding to take full advantage of it.

The next few weeks are critical. I cannot afford to lose momentum at this vital stage. I must therefore raise approximately R80,000 to fund my most urgent work to take full advantage of the major opportunities offered during my recent trip to Washington DC in the US.

Will you please, therefore, consider a generous once-off tax-deductible contribution to FPI to support our vital work in FPI, RSACRA and the ACPF. My recent efforts have produced significant breakthroughs in international collaborations for the defence and protection of faith, family and freedom in SA. Your financial support will help me get the job done!

I am reliably informed the foreign-funded “Sex Workers Education & Advocacy Taskforce” (SWEAT) efforts to legalise the entire sex industry in SA – via the law courts – face considerable resistance. This case will only be heard in the W/C High Court well into 2027.

Marcel van der Watt, President & CEO of the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) will bring his considerable international expertise to bear on this case. Marcel will also participate in the ACPF Conference to educate delegates about this legal battle.

Many of the leaders of organisations like, C-Fam, FRC, Family Watch International, Alliance Defending Freedom and the Institute for Women’s Health will participate in the 3rd ACPF Pan-African (International) Conference on Family Values in Cape Town in May 2027.

FPI and the ACPF oppose the dangerous agenda of the gender-neutral “Marriage Bill” that seeks to equate man, woman marriage with same-sex and transgender unions in every respect. This Bill seeks to redefine marriage to appease global sexual rights radicals.

Pro-life and pro-family groups from more than 30 African nations will join forces with allies from the US, Europe and Latin America in Cape Town in 2027 to issue a bold proclamation on life, the family, religious freedoms and good governance based on biblical principles.

The GCD tenets will form the policy framework for the ACPF Charter on Life & Family. African nations already represent the majority of GCD signatories – isolating the ANC and its anti-life and anti-family stance. The ACPF will help grow African support for the GCD.

The success of FPI’s critical work depends on its funding. My efforts in FPI, RSACRA and the ACPF cannot succeed without adequate funding. The lack of finances severely undermine my vital work because anti-family groups enjoy multi-million dollar budgets.

We can’t match their budgets but we need a fighting chance. And your critical contribution gives us that chance. Please make a decision today to partner with FPI with a monthly donation of any amount or a generous once-off donation – so we can get the job done!
