“Every person who volunteers at iKhaya brings a little piece of gold which is poured into the children’s hearts”- Nicolette Lotter, Volunteering Coordinator.
Volunteers help us with:
Homework lab, stationed in our library: children with homework from school will approach you for any help or assistance.
Child’s play! Games, fun & sports - new ideas encouraged!
Reading corner. Reading aloud is so important to the development of young minds.
Sharing your experiences. How rich could our little world be if we learnt things from one another? Be the change and bring your knowledge and learnings to our children.

Donate Goods
iKhaya Le Themba believes in recycling for good. What you think may be “past its sell-by date”, could bring life to someone else! We’d love you to remember us with your:
Used clothing, especially school uniform items, shoes, and socks.
Winter weather items. Being on the side of a mountain has its downsides!
Learning materials, books, workbooks, stationery.
Toys, puzzles, games - anything a child loves.
Sports and exercise equipment. Sport brings us together.
You are so welcome to visit us and drop off your donations, parking is secure!
Alternatively, you can purchase goods on platforms such as Takealot and get them delivered. We are in desperate need of educational games and board games!
