The Crisis facing children in South Africa

  • 20 million children (35% of population)
  • 2.4 million are orphaned
  • 3,500 children survive abandonment
  • 90% of those abandoned are babies or under one yr old
  • 1,000 children are murdered each year
  • Drugs, violence, gangs, rape and sexual assault are a national crisis

Who are we?

Ukuthemba Foundation was set up in 2006.
Together with local authorities, we rescue babies and toddlers who face incredibly difficult situations, including extreme poverty, abuse, neglect and disability and keep them safe by providing a loving home environment.

More About Us

How can you help?

We need to raise around £85k to run our 5 homes each year. Historically we raised this through two dinners a year in SA and London but the market for client entertaining has changed and costs have been rising! We have had to become very creative and there are many way in which you can help!
