Rural youth Empowerment towards purposeful living
WELCOME TO YATIMA FOUNDATION
Yatima Foundation was established to aid in the provision of poverty alleviation, with a specific focus on orphan children in South Africa’s poorest provinces. We believe that by providing the basic needs of these impoverished children, they will be inspired to achieve more, attend school, and develop the basic skills necessary to succeed in life.
Our focus is to implement community-based projects that will drive children and youth empowerment, capacity building and poverty alleviation across the deep rural villages in the poorest provinces of our country.
