Welcome to The Umtshayelo Foundation (TUF)

The Umtshayelo Foundation was established in 2013. ‘Umtshayelo’ is a xhosa word meaning
broom which has given birth to our slogan ‘sweeping suffering away’ . We believe that our
neighbour’s material concerns are our spiritual concerns. Through the years we have built a
community of givers and volunteers who care for each other and society.

“Our Father…bring in your kingdom so that your will is done on earth as it is in heaven.”-Mat.6:10

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead
