Our Focus
For over a decade, Thembalethu has provided extensive services to the Nkomazi community addressing issues related directly to the HIV and AIDS pandemic. With immediate support at our core, we also aim to provide opportunities for our community to learn and to grow. We work together with small business owners, we provide jobs and the opportunity to learn. Our projects are therefore a blend between assistance to those in need and support for others to grow.
