About the Tshemba Foundation 

The Tshemba Foundation is a non-profit organisation with a vision of fair and equal  healthcare for all people in South Africa’s rural northeast. This unique medical volunteering  programme provides the opportunity for healthcare professionals to treat, teach and learn,  while also finding refuge in the quiet and beauty of a private game reserve.  

Tshemba’s aim is to attract healthcare professionals from a wide range of disciplines, to volunteer  their time and expertise for short- or long-term stays. Services include direct patient care,  postgraduate support, skills development and formal teaching. We do not take direct responsibility  for healthcare delivery but rather add our volunteers to existing services, to support and complement  the work of local staff.
