Focus on iThemba

Focus on iThemba is a registered non-profit, public benefit organisation dedicated to transforming young lives through quality, values-based education. 

Based on the iThemba Campus in Hillcrest, KwaZulu-Natal, and with a growing presence in Knysna, Western Cape, we have been committed to making a lasting impact on underserved communities for more than 20 years. 

Today, the biodiverse iThemba Campus serves as an educational hub to Waterfall Pre-Primary, Waterfall Preparatory and Waterfall College, collectively known as Waterfall Schools. 

We recognise the significance of education to transform lives and believe that this
transformation begins with nurturing the minds of young children. While our primary focus is on supporting children’s holistic development, our reach extends far beyond this.  

Through the work of our various programmes, we also impact families, teachers and micro-enterprises through our iThemba schools, where we provide quality holistic education to help children develop and grow. 

In collaboration with our operator and partner pre-schools, we facilitate elevated educare to children from birth to five years. 

We believe that a strong educational foundation is the key to transformation in South Africa and we are making this happen through the work of our various iThemba programmes.
