Why we do

What We Do

Everyone deserves a chance to learn something that will better equip them for a brighter future.

EDUCATION

Access to quality education is still a pipeline dream for many South Africans. 50% of children that begin school in Grade R (Kindergarten) successfully make it through to their Matric (Senior Year). 

At Thembalitsha Foundation, we believe education is not only limited to a classroom. It is an Early Childhood Development class behind a tiny red table, with a group of little ones gathered around learning collaboration. It is an auditorium filled with resilient youth on their first day back at school, in safe place with inspiring teachers. It is even alongside a soon to be mother, in a circle of chairs learning about how to best care for and support her baby in those early day so life. 

We believe everyone deserves a chance to learn to be better equipped for a brighter future. 

HOW WE DO IT

Your gift of R250/$20/£10 each month combines with the gifts of other sponsors to support the work of Thembalitsha’s Education, Health and Training initiatives.  Our team of highly skilled educators, counsellors and trainers ensure the greatest impact of your donation with each desk sponsored.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT

The Thembalitsha team will be in contact with you throughout the year via email, newsletters and social media to update you on the progress of our Health, Education and Training initiatives. You will hear stories about real learners impacted by your monthly gift! We want you to know first hand the difference your donation is making.
