About Us
In 1963 Helen Lieberman and other courageous activists responded to the unjust and inhumane conditions of South African Apartheid by setting up survival initiatives in the Western Cape.

Helen Lieberman
FOUNDER AND HONORARY PRESIDENT
“I believe that every human being has the right to a dignified life.”
Helen Lieberman is the founder of Ikamva Labantu and gives her whole life to uplifting people in Cape Town’s township communities.
It all started in 1963 when South Africa was still suffering under the apartheid regime.

Helen, a young speech therapist, drove into Langa a township on the outskirts of Cape Town to find a young patient who had been prematurely discharged from the hospital. What she encountered there was squalor, fear, poverty, and desperation as well as compassion, generosity, and warmth. It changed her life. Working with the women she met in the townships, Helen went on to change the lives of hundreds of thousands of others mobilising individuals to better their communities. The insights she gained and the relationships she developed with community leaders on this and her many subsequent visits built the foundation that led to the formation of Ikamva Labantu.
