Serenity Foundation

Serenity foundation is a non religious charity based in England created to relieve the needs of children in Kayamandi township in South Africa.  Specifically by the construction and operation of an orphanage which will operate in full cooperation with the local community and the provision of education and training.

Our aim is to help those children who have no way of helping themselves, to stop them having to live on the streets, to take away the responsibilities of having to feed themselves, to give them back the opportunity to be children and provide them with education and spiritual guidance to help them develop the ability to have the dreams for their future that come so naturally to us

We are happy to announce that we will be part funding the establishment of a new Umzi Wethu Training Academy for Vulnerable Youth in Stellenbosch.

The academy provides learners with accredited training in Hospitality and Catering through an intensive year long programme supported by personal development, wilderness trails and outreach programmes.

This is an important step forward with our skills development program, as it will provide young learners from Kayamandi to gain important skills and training in order to find sustainable employment.

We are launching our christmas appeal to help fund this important new academy.  You can donate in a number of way here.

You can read more information about the academy here.

A Video Message from our Kayamandi Manager 

We asked Mvuyo McDonald Ndzala to tell us about why he wanted to start the project and his dreams for the education of the children of the township, so that our supporters could meet the man who will be managing our work in South Africa.  It was completely unscripted - just him talking from the heart about it.
