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. 
Living on the streets is challenging and especially during this COVID 19 period. Unfortunately this is a reality for the street-connected community.
When you see homeless children & youth begging on the street, you feel compelled to help. By donating to uMthombo uBuntu Campaign, you can change the life of homeless children & youth in a meaningful way.
Why People Are Homeless:
There are many factors that contribute to one being homeless and some of these factors are directly linked as to why many are still homeless.
- Poverty
- Abuse
- Substance abuse
- Delinquency
- Unemployment
