About Us

The Mudita Foundation is a Non Profit Company (NPC) that was founded in 2010. Inspired by a desire to assist children affected by mental health and drug and alcohol problems, the Foundation set about offering counselling and support to school learners from low income areas.

Our substance abuse project was piloted in one school in one community near Cape Town in 2010. More than a decade on, we are proud to service hundreds of learners and their families and educators from several geographic locations near Cape Town in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. View the areas we service.

Today, we do not only specialize in outpatient substance abuse treatment for youth, but we also provide a basket of mental health care and education services to thousands of children and dozens of schools every year.

Thanks to our wonderful partners and sponsors our services remain free of charge to those in need.

GOALS

MISSION
