About Afrika Tikkun
Afrika Tikkun is a nonprofit organization based in South Africa. It was established in 1994 with the aim of transforming communities and developing young people in disadvantaged areas. We are focused on addressing the challenges faced by children and youths living in poverty, particularly township communities, in sustainable ways.
We provide comprehensive support and development programs in areas such as education, healthcare, social services and skills training. Initiatives include Early Childhood Development, after school programs, vocational training and access to healthcare facilities.
The organization’s primary objective is to create sustainable change and promote social justice in disadvantaged communities, following the sacred ideal of tikkun olam, an ancient Hebrew phrase that has come to mean social action and the pursuit of social justice.
Why “Power My Future”?
Celebrating a Legacy
Nelson Mandela is synonymous with human rights and is known for his love of children. On receiving the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize, he said: “South Africa’s children shall play in the open veldt, no longer tortured by hunger or disease or threatened with abuse. Children are our greatest treasure.”
It is these common goals shared with Afrika Tikkun that led to him to become a Patron-in-chief for the organization. Both parties believed that no child should be left behind, regardless of their race or socio-economic background.
During his retirement years Mandela was quoted as saying that his dealings with children and young people gave him energy and left him feeling recharged. This is why we decided to launch this campaign during “Mandela Month” (July, the month of his birthday) to give global citizens the opportunity to celebrate the legacy of Nelson Mandela in a way that would honor his memory – helping vulnerable children to reach their dreams.
