Thembalitsha Foundation is established

Thembalitsha Foundation began in 1997, founded by Frank and Katherine Christie with a simple but powerful belief: that every person deserves the opportunity to live with dignity, hope and possibility.

When translated from Xhosa, our name “Thembalitsha” means “new hope”.

Our Aim

At Thembalitsha, we aim to restore and bring a new sense of hope to the destitute, forgotten and vulnerable people of the Western and Eastern Cape.
