Amy Foundation SA (Formerly Amy Biehl Foundation)

General information

The aim of our programmes is to offer young people in the townships healthy alternatives to today’s negative influences, to provide them with hope and a brighter future and to keep them off the streets and away from violence, drugs, alcohol, sex and idleness. At the same time, we look to unlock creative talent by providing the students with opportunities to become future leaders, entrepreneurs and well rounded citizens in a global society, able to break the cycle of poverty prevalent in the townships.

We involve the community in our work and continue to create innovative new youth programmes. We will proudly walk in the footsteps of Amy Biehl by providing a positive influence in the lives of as many young people as we can. We will remember the past, and the lessons of reconciliation, forgiveness and justice that the Biehl family has taught us, while tirelessly working to create a brighter future for today’s children of South Africa.
