The Thembisa Trust

Thembisa is a small UK charity that raises money to fund grassroots projects in South Africa. Supporters include individuals, community groups, businesses, charities and colleges.

Education and training (e.g. Leadership development)
Empowerment and income generation (e.g. craftwork projects, agriculture)
Community projects (e.g. orphanages, food kitchens)

Why support people in South Africa?

Despite positive changes giant problems remain. Poverty and unemployment affect some 22 million people. Half of all South Africans, including three out of every four children, live below the poverty line. Africa is the most neglected continent despite great human and natural resources.
