Who we are

Afrika Tikkun is a non-profit organization dedicated to the eradication of poverty by caring for vulnerable children in townships through their cradle-to-career approach. Using a holistic development model, Afrika Tikkun runs programs that address the various needs of township children with the end goal being their successful placement in careers or tertiary learning facilities.

What we do

We want to end child poverty and youth unemployment. We do this through a holistic approach that begins in early childhood and ends with productive adults accessing the economy. Our model provides 360° care of the nutrition, health, and social needs of the young person. It also includes personal, leadership and academic development throughout youth; skills development for out-of-school youth; and ultimately work placement. This approach is called our Cradle-to-Career 360° model, and it has earned us recognition for being one of the most impactful organisations in South Africa.

Our Culture

We believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to be the best that they can be.

We are passionate about developing young people together with like-minded partners, through innovative and enterprising ways, to impact the economy of South Africa.
