We are Thembalitsha

We are a diverse team of people who seek to restore hope. Since 1997, Thembalitsha Foundation has invested in the communities of South Africa – inspiring change and offering a hand up rather than a handout. We are committed to addressing the socio-economic challenges of the poor, vulnerable and marginalised people of the Western and Eastern Cape by developing them to the point of self-reliance through the provision of healthcare, education and training.

Our core values are: Team, Integrity, Compassion, Stewardship, Professionalism and Loyalty
