Ensuring greater success and emotional     well-being for under-served young people.

Home: Welcome

Cape Kids Foundation’s purpose is to provide a safe, loving, and inspiring space for under-served young people who, against all odds, continue to strive towards improving their social, academic, and financial status.  

Our wrap-around programme includes emotional support, social mentorship, and best-fit education. We work in partnership with each student as they work towards long-term financial stability and emotional well-being.
