ABOUT US

The Nthuse Foundation, founded in 2011, has been helping students with disabilities from previously disadvantaged backgrounds obtain tertiary qualifications for the past 11 years. Our programme started with 5 students and we are now proudly helping 70 nationally to make their dreams come true.

Most of our students come from backgrounds of poverty and cannot afford basic supplies they need for their course. They also have limited, to no, access to technology. What the Nthuse Foundation does is source funding and sponsorships from various companies and individuals in South Africa thereby enabling us to assist students with bursaries for their tertiary education from the beginning of their chosen course.

Our project also aims to build a pipeline of youth with disabilities for different organisations to absorb them into different aspects of their business units and also to give the youth in Cape Town and Gauteng the opportunity to grow and develop into people who can add value to their communities, families and the overall growth of this country through education. The vision is to grow this project nationally and reach more areas in South Africa.
