Alive changing lives since 2012.

WE UPLIFT. WE MAKE CHANGE POSSIBLE.

The Alive Foundation came to be in 2012 due to a group of friends who wanted to uplift their community. Over the past 13 years with the help of our dedicated volunteers we have completed over 101 large projects, in central Cape Town, as well as surrounding areas in need. Our foundation aims at uplifting local schools and seniors in Cape Town including nursing homes, hospitals and orphanages. Alive strives to make a direct change in the lives of individuals, giving them the tools for a better future and with your help, we can make an even bigger change and a greater difference.
