uMthombo Street Children is a South African Non-Profit organisation committed to leading street-connected children and youth out of street life towards alternatives, through sports and other carefully constructed activities. In many cases, this means reintegration back into their communities with appropriate family preparation and support. Where families are too fragmented or dysfunctional, uMthombo prepares youth for living productive independent lives. There are no quick fixes due to multiple trauma, but street-connected children and youth can and do transform their lives. uMthombo follows a carefully constructed multi-pronged strategy that has had long-term impacts on many young people's lives. 
uMthombo is proud to continue to help those who are truly in need. The COVID 19 pandemic & Lockdown has left many families, communities and the most vulnerable in compromising situations.
As part of the COVID 19 relief efforts, uMthombo donated 45 blankets to COGTA in support of their Warm Winter Campaign. The blanket donations were distributed in eThekwini Municipality Wards 4 & 42. uMthombo & COGTA- (Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs) Provincial Department, have been collaborating to bring about relief to communities and individuals who are in distress. In the beginning of winter months, we also distributed 100 blankets to street-connected individuals in derelict buildings, assisted by our partner organisation Domino Foundation. In total 145 blankets were distributed in this strangely cold winter in Durban.
Even though we are now in “Advanced Level 3” Lockdown, we encourage individuals and companies to be advocates of change to this crisis. uMthombo will be gladly welcome any form of support in reaching out to less fortunate compatriots.
Together, we can overcome COVID 19 by taking all necessary precautions and acting responsibly.
