how you can help

As an organization in a rural area, we work with children who do not have access to opportunities and experiences necessary to cope with the constantly evolving demands of the world of the 21st century.  Therefore, we need assistance accessing experiential opportunities that will contribute to their growth and preparation for modern careers. We cater for children and youth of different age groups, starting from the age of 3 to 35 years.  Umthommbo NPO would welcome any opportunities for voluntary work, donations (in kind or financial) as well as mentorship, training and internship assistance in relevant areas.
