The Raith Foundation Information

It is a Non-Profit Organisation and has tax-exempt status. The Foundation is privately funded, not politically affiliated and does not raise funds from the public. The RAITH Foundation is concerned that systemic injustice and unfairness prevail in South Africa and seeks effective and lasting solutions, which address this at its roots. Since 2010, the Foundation has been implementing a social justice programme. For the Foundation, implicit in the notion of social justice is the issue of equity and particularly equitable access to resources. Our definition is thus closely aligned to principles of fairness and dignity. We believe government and the corporate sector have a role to play in advancing social justice and should be held accountable when they fail to do so. The RAITH programme has supported projects that provide access to justice for maginalised people, improve governance (especially at a local level) and promote accountability through the media and citizen participation.
