At Likhon iThemba, we don’t believe in begging for funds. Instead, we host fundraisers and operate our charity shops so that our supporters receive something meaningful in return for their generosity.
Our co-founder, Kim, is a passionate advocate for adoption. She offers free advice and guidance to anyone interested in adoption or fostering, as well as support to those considering placing a child for adoption. As a mother of four adopted children herself, Kim brings invaluable firsthand experience and insight into the adoption journey.
Our main beneficiaries are underprivileged and special needs children, from birth upward. We are dedicated to supporting each child’s best interests — including their biological families, when it is safe and beneficial, and their potential adoptive families.
We love connecting with like-minded individuals, NPOs, and community partners who share our mission of giving back and building brighter futures for children.

Vision

Advocating for every child’s brightest tomorrow, and caring for them until it arrives.

Mission

At Likhon iThemba, our mission is to stand in the gap for vulnerable children, caring for them today while fighting for the opportunities and futures they deserve tomorrow.

Values

Our passion drives us to foster sustainable commitment and create bonds that reflect a unique, open-minded, and forward-thinking perspective on the future

Who We Are

KIM BROWN FOUNDERS OF LIKHON ITHEMBA
Kim has always had a passion for helping vulnerable children. Being adopted herself, she understands the importance of these little ones going to a good forever home and being loved unconditionally.
Kim has a wide experience background from working in HR, to working with disability in the UK and Australia, owning an ice cream shop and au pairing in South Africa. She feels she has finally found what she is meant to be doing and encourages everyone to come and visit HOLAH, spend time with the babies and grow to understand the importance of homes like HOLAH and see them as positive, happy and safe spaces.
