UKUTHANDA KWENKOSI

Skills Development Initiative | Founded in 2026

About Us

Ukuthanda Kwenkosi was founded in 2026 by Sibusisiwe and her sons with a vision to empower young people and uplift communities through skills development and social support. The organisation is a registered skills development initiative dedicated to equipping youth with practical, creative, and life-changing skills.

Based in South Africa and now operating in Umhlathuze, Ukuthanda Kwenkosi aims to recruit and train more than 30 youth through structured development programmes in arts, music, and film.

Beyond skills training, the organisation also offers community support services including disaster relief assistance, trauma counselling, and social support for individuals and families in need.

Ukuthanda Kwenkosi also operates accommodation facilities available for hire (including Airbnb-style rentals), generating sustainability while supporting its development initiatives.

The long-term goal is to expand across South Africa and into the African continent.
