The name:
Abantwane Belanga means Children of the Sun and is a phrase that comes from the Zulu, one of the 11 official languages in South Africa. The sun is the source of all life, our central energy and heat source, the start of all growth. Children are also the start of all the growth and the future of a family, the country, its culture, but above all the future of the group of people, which is our commitment as Abantwane Belanga Foundation.
