There are huge inadequacies in the schools and communities in which we work.
The Amy Foundation was founded in1998, after the death of a volunteer
American student, Amy Biehl, on the dawn of South African democracy, Amy worked on the new Constitution and Women’s Rights.
On 25 August 1993, her life was tragically ended in an act of political mob
violence in the Gugulethu Township just outside of Cape Town.
Today the Foundation is truly South African and has built itself into a credible, transparent and well-run South African NPO.
