Qui sommes-nous
The Umtshayelo Foundation was established in 2013. ‘Umtshayelo’ is a xhosa word meaning broom which has given birth to our slogan ‘sweeping suffering away’. We believe that our neighbour’s material concerns are our spiritual concerns. Through the years we have built a community of givers and volunteers who care for each other and society.
Our Mission
We exist to break the cycle of disadvantages through innovative and people focused services.
Our Vision
We envision a world where all people hold the power to create an opportunity for themselves and others.
Our work
• Senior Care: A weekly program providing older persons with the necessary social support to improve their well-being.
• Learning4Life: An Afterschool program that provides an intentional blend of personal enrichment and academic assistance to enhance school participation.
• ICT Lab: This initiative seeks to provide the community, especially school dropouts, with digital literacy skills to increase their opportunities for higher education and for employment.
• Komani: The social enterprise of The Umtshayelo Foundation. Komani manufactures and distributes reusable menstrual pads, produced by previously unemployed women who are now empowered with skills and livelihoods. Each 4-pad Komani pack lasts 3 years, offering dignity, confidence and opportunity to the girls who receive them.
