We thank you most sincerely for your kindness and enthusiasm to invest in the people of Southern Africa.
We had the great pleasure of meeting Zilla Stekhoven in 2022 in Cape Town. She came on one of the Uthando Philanthropic Excursions and we instantly felt a strong connection.
Zilla is a passionate South African living in Munich. She has a deep love for South Africa and a sincere desire to contribute to education and skills development in South Africa.
The values, mission and vision of Sawabona Africa and Uthando are very much aligned.
Any individual or company in Germany can now donate to Uthando via Sawabona Africa and claim a tax deduction. Sawabona Africa does not deduct any commission and all funds reach Uthando, and in turn Uthando will distribute all of the funds to the beneficiary community development projects.
Donors would need to select Uthando as the beneficiary on the website at https://sawabona-africa.com/uthando-love/ to ensure that the money comes through to Uthando.
