ABOUT US

OUR HISTORY
The Africa Ithemba Network is registered under the Non-Profit Organizations (NPO) Act 1997 (ACT 71 of 1997) Registration Number 236-209 based at 21 Mcintyre Road Parow /in Cape Town ( South Africa).
The Africa Ithemba network has its roots in the word Ithemba which is of Xhosa origin meaning hope and the organization was established many years ago by Reverend Kalaki.
It is extremely important to note from the beginning that our Non-Profit Organization (NPO), T.A.I.N., short for THE AFRICA ITHEMBA NETWORK, was established in 2019. And on October 3, 2019, the South African Social Development Department acknowledged it by approving its social utility. Since its creation, our Association has worked to address the immediate demands of Cape Town Local, our community. In accordance with this reasoning, our Association’s triple objectives—namely, achieving its triple objectives—actualize its effective mission within the Local Community of Cape Town.
A. The creation of an urgent and comprehensive strategy to combat all forms of abuse and violence against impoverished South African girls, women, and children, including refugees.
B. Facilitate the emergence of employment and entrepreneurship through a variety of practical disciplines to assist students (young, disadvantaged South African girls, mothers, and refugees) in gaining access to the labor market or developing their own businesses that will enable them to uplift themselves and reduce poverty in our Cape Town neighborhood.
C. Effectively create networks of support and communication between local government agencies and refugees. In addition to the three goals listed above, our Association works to fulfill a duty of global solidarity by providing food and clothing every Sunday to the poorest and most vulnerable people.
Who we are
We are a team who believe through our actions that every helping hand can uplift a human being and create a better future for them..
We started offering help to children and young people in need who were eager to study and work for a better life. This moment intensified when we saw that there were many underprivileged children who needed help with food and education. Our team has grown and we have spread across different areas to ensure we cover all possible areas and help as many children as possible.
