Kinder spielen vor dem Kindergarten

The Umckaloabo Foundation was created to help give young people and children in southern Africa an independent future.

We want to provide future perspectives for children and young people in southern Africa. Having a solid education in an affirming environment is an indispensable part of this outlook.

We create places where young people and children can grow, develop personally and learn the skills they need for their careers.

After all, only well-educated, active, self-confident young people in southern Africa will be able to break out of their lack of prospects.
