For over 30 years, Afrika Tikkun has helped develop South Africa’s children and young people in some of the country’s poorest communities. Named South Africa’s Best NGO at the 2025 CSI Legacy Awards, we know that belief, backed by action, changes lives.

Our pioneering 360° Cradle-to-Career model supports the whole child, from early childhood to their first job.

We feed them so they can concentrate. We educate them so they can learn. We skill them so they can work. We back them so they can build. We care for their health and mental wellbeing, supporting their families and help them grow into confident, capable adults who give back to their communities and the economy.

We don’t just believe it works. We have the results to prove it. We’ve helped change the lives of over two million young South Africans.

For 48 hours, on 19 and 20 November, South Africa has the chance to say to every child who needs it:

I see you.I back you.I believe in you.

And thanks to our Matching Pillars, every rand you give is tripled.

“Please believe in me long enough for me to start believing in myself.”
