iKhaya le themba Details
Translated, the isiXhosa name of the community in English means "our combined efforts." iKhaya le Themba – the "Home of Hope" provides a platform where the above is not only evidenced on site; there is actually a global platform of these "combined efforts" in effect. The Home of Hope empowers its beneficiaries through educational support and skills development. Children benefit from an environment where they feel safe, nurtured and loved; where they learn, play and grow and are encouraged to nurture a hope for a future. A hot meal is served daily and the children take home a sandwich with a piece of fruit at the end of every day.We are working in Imizamo Yethu, Cape Town with 108 children aged 6-12 years.
