Streetsmart
Project Management in Cape Town

It is registered as a Non-Profit Organisation and a Public Benefit Organisation which functions as a conduit fundraising body, distributing raised funds to selected beneficiaries. StreetSmart South Africa works along the same lines as it does in the United Kingdom, San Francisco and Australia.

The restaurants in each town raise funds for their own community street children programmes. Often these also include agencies that work with vulnerable children to prevent them from becoming street children. The funds raised go towards family reunification, education and skills training programmes for street children, and children at risk of becoming street children. Funding programmes of this kind assist street children to normalise their lives and live a viable life in society. We are honoured to have Emeritus Archbishop Desmond Tutu, as the founding patron of StreetSmart SA. StreetSmart South Africa is governed by the Board of StreetSmart South Africa, which is a Non Profit Company, holds Public Benefit Organisation & Non-Profit Organisation status and is the keeper of the brand. StreetSmart is a country-wide initiative, with one StreetSmart campaign per town or city. Towns and cities running StreetSmart will be benefitting street children programmes in their own communities. holds an MBA in Information Technology (Bond University), Diplomas in Diversity Management (Wits), Project Management and Marketing (UNISA).
