With multiple campuses across Gauteng—including Alexandra, Diepsloot, Orange Farm, Randburg, and Braamfontein—as well as one in Emfuleni, Afrika Tikkun’s cradle-to-career 360° model continues to help equip young people with skills and training to be the best versions of themselves.
In a country marred by inequality, poverty and lack of opportunities for young people, Afrika Tikkun stands as a beacon of hope, demonstrating that even the most disadvantaged youth can shape their destinies.
Underlining this ethos, CEO Marc Lubner champions the potential of every young South African. Since its foundation in 1994, the non-profit organisation has effectively transformed the lives of over two million individuals, driving change with a commitment to the cradle-to-career mantra, or in simple terms, from childhood to adulthood.
The success stories emanating from Afrika Tikkun reflect the profound impact of its programmes. Young people who have benefitted from this transformative support have successfully launched their own businesses or secured positions within South Africa’s thriving corporate sector. Lubner's philosophy centres on the belief that, when provided with the right opportunities, youth can rise from adversity to become leaders and change-makers in their communities.
