The challenges we address

South Africa faces significant challenges. The homeless population struggles daily with hunger, lack of shelter, and isolation. Many of our youth are trapped in cycles of poverty, with limited access to quality education or employment opportunities.

But these challenges are not insurmountable. With your help, we can make a difference by offering tangible solutions like feeding programs, shelter services, and empowerment initiatives for the youth.

Our programs

We’re making an impact through the following initiatives:

Feeding Programmes

Providing daily meals to homeless individuals, ensuring they receive the nutrition they need to survive and thrive.

Youth Initiatives

Offering educational resources, skills training, and mentorship to help young South Africans build brighter futures.

Skills Development

Equipping both the homeless and youth with practical skills to help them secure employment and become self-reliant.

Why we do what we do

South Africa faces immense challenges. 

Over 200,000 people experience homelessness.

Millions of youth face barriers to education and employment opportunities.

These numbers are more than statistics—they represent lives filled with potential, waiting to be unlocked. At Uluntu Connect, we are inspired by the resilience of the people we serve and driven by the belief that we can all play a role in creating change.

You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

Through their mentorship program, I discovered my passion for business. Now, I run my own small company and mentor others like me who want to create something better for themselves.

    Uluntu Connect gave me a second chance at life. Today, I’m employed and able to support my family, something I never thought possible after years of living on the streets.
