To raise funds to help improve the health, education, nutrition and life-chances of some of the lowest-income communities in South Africa.

Thatu was created in the UK in 2004 by a handful of people who had been inspired by the initiatives of many communities working against the odds in South Africa to grow a new future for themselves. We support such self-help and home-grown projects in poorly resourced communities in South Africa so that they can flourish and reach their full potential – sustaining the future. We support local South African community efforts where people are determined to help themselves to fight poverty, malnutrition and HIV/AIDS. We also focus on supporting projects to create sustainable community and school food gardens.
