Dear Supporter, At the Mthunzi Foundation, we work with teenage girls and young mothers who are facing some of life’s hardest challenges far too early. Many of these young women experience early pregnancy while still at school, and sadly, many are then excluded from continuing their education. Without support, they are left facing a future limited by poverty, stigma, and a lack of opportunity. We believe education is the foundation for independence, dignity, and hope. Every girl deserves the chance to learn, grow, and build a brighter future for herself and her child. As a newly established non-government organisation, the Mthunzi Foundation is committed to supporting teenage girls and young mothers through access to education, skills training, and practical assistance. However, we cannot do this alone. Today, we are reaching out to kindly ask for donations of shorts for the young women we support. Many of the girls arrive with very limited clothing and basic necessities. Comfortable, practical shorts would make a meaningful difference to their daily lives, helping them feel confident, cared for, and able to participate in school and training activities with dignity. We warmly welcome support from donors, sponsors, partners, and community members who would like to help empower these young women through practical generosity and compassion. Thank you for considering supporting the Mthunzi Foundation and the young mothers working hard to create a better future for themselves and their children.

Backpack
Nigeria
Our organization serves those in various need. At this point we wish to get backpacks for a few school children who holds books in the hand and many times end up misplacing them, then return to school with nothing to write on or look into in the case of textbook. This particular group of children do not have parents/guardians who can afford a schoolbag and they are in public schools where education is free.

Water filter
Australia
Tropical Cyclone Maila struck the Solomon Islands at Category 5 intensity in early April 2026, leaving Western and Choiseul Provinces under a State of Disaster. Storm surges and flooding swept away homes, destroyed food gardens across multiple wards, and damaged infrastructure throughout communities already difficult to reach by sea. With WASH systems damaged across affected areas and remote communities still cut off by dangerous swells, there is significant risk of waterborne disease outbreaks. The HADR Institute is seeking funds to procure water filters for distribution to affected households through its partner, the Development Services Exchange (DSE), the NDMO-appointed coordination body on the ground in Solomon Islands. Water filters provide an immediate, community-level solution that requires no infrastructure, no fuel, and no technical support to operate. As formal WASH rehabilitation will take months, filters represent one of the most cost-effective interventions available right now to prevent a secondary health crisis from compounding an already severe disaster.

Baby carrier
Zambia
The Mthunzi Foundation supports teenage girls who fall pregnant while still in school and are at risk of missing out on their education. Many of these young mothers are unable to return to the classroom, limiting their chances of building a secure and independent future. At Mthunzi Foundation, we believe education changes everything. When a girl can continue learning, she gains confidence, independence and the opportunity to create a better life for herself and her child. Without that support, her future becomes much more uncertain. A simple baby carrier can make a real difference. It allows young mothers to safely carry their babies while attending school or training, giving them a better chance to continue their education and work towards a brighter future.
