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.

We are an inclusive organisation; we believe in the power of equity.
We celebrate and honour diversity with open hearts.
