Program Overview

The Thebe Foundation Trust (TFT) believes in long term and continuous programmes that support social and economic upliftment of the previously disadvantaged communities. For this to be achieved, TFT implements and supports programmes that are community-focused, empowering and geared towards nation building in nature.
