Umthombo Youth Development Foundation

It costs us R75500 (roughly $7500) to put a student through medical school, per year. The more money we raise, the more students we can support. 

Umthombo Youth Development Foundation identifies, trains and supports youth in their quest to become qualified healthcare professionals and as a way of addressing staff shortages at rural hospitals. This includes comprehensive mentoring and financial support throughout the course of their studies, as well as assistance with integration into the hospital working environment once qualified.
