Our Journey and Mission
Founded in 1992 in the heart of Grahamstown, the Umthathi Training Project has been a beacon of hope and empowerment for over three decades. Our mission is deeply rooted in the principles of strength and renewal, inspired by the traditional significance of the sneeze-wood tree, known as Umthathi in isiXhosa. As a non-profit organization, we are dedicated to uplifting communities by providing essential skills training and education. Through our diverse projects, we aim to empower individuals to take control of their lives, fostering a sustainable and self-reliant future for all.
