Who We Are

THTGF is a 501c3 organization that has been established to help the hungry and the poor people of the Kwazulu Natal region of South Africa and orphan children and disabled people of Uganda.

Nearly half the adult population of South Africa lives in poverty. The South African government measures poverty by three threshold points. … According to the Department of Statistics in South Africa, 49.2% of the population over the age of 18 falls below the upper-bound poverty line. Lack of access to employment is arguably the single greatest cause of rural poverty.
