Non-profit EDUCATION, BRINGING COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION TO RURAL SOUTH AFRICA
iThemba Trust was founded with a dream to uplift the community of Tarkastad and the surrounding areas in the rural poverty-stricken Eastern Cape of South Africa. iThemba Trust breathes hope into young lives by providing them with an education of excellence surrounded by the simplicity and beauty of a healthy country lifestyle. iThemba Trust was founded in 2008 by Kitty Phillips as the founder and Angela Price as the co-founder. The trust was founded to be a custodian of the vision Kitty Phillips had in 2002.

Choose Alternative Education
We provide excellent education in order to build hope and address the challenges of illiteracy, poverty, unemployment and broken families in our community, all within the context of a beautiful, country lifestyle. Our goal is to establish a safe facility to nurture, train and disciple children and adults through Christian beliefs. Our dream is that Orange Grove Farm would be self-sustaining: That established communities and families would be able to live, eat, grow, learn and thrive together.
A place where children and adults can live out their dreams in harmony with each other, and in relationship with God.
