Founded in the watershed year of 1994, Afrika Tikkun was born at a time of tentative hope and palpable transformation. As we commemorate 30 years of our freedom and democracy as a South African nation, at Afrika Tikkun we are equally proud to celebrate 30 years of our unwavering commitment to nurturing young lives and empowering communities. Over the past three decades, like the evolution of our fledgling democracy, the lives of young people and communities have been markedly transformed. Our mission, of investing in the potential of children and youth from underprivileged backgrounds, is synonymous with the democratic ethos of equality and Ubuntu. As we reflect on three decades of service, impact and partnerships, we are inspired to continue our work with renewed vigour and hope for the next 30 years and beyond.
We believe that early intervention in a child’s development will impact their ultimate life pathway. Our holistic Cradle-to-Career 360° model engages children, young people and their families from early childhood education, through to an after-school support programme, work readiness and progressing into work experience and placement opportunities. The programme is holistic, providing support in ensuring food security, personal safety, primary health, education, sports and career path development.
