"" Doing more for those with less"

-Founder, Thina

“The incredible passion and support from the people of South Africa have shown us that everyone wants to make a difference — they just need an easier way.

Thina was built to remove the barriers to volunteering, making it simple and accessible for everyone to get involved and create real change.”

Our Story

Thina was born from a personal experience of wanting to give back but finding the volunteering process harder than expected. Inspired by the vibrant spirit of South Africa, where community and unity are at the heart of everything, our founder set out to build a platform that removes barriers to volunteering

Our journey began with the simple idea of making volunteering easier for everyone — nonprofits, individuals, and communities alike. We wanted to create a space where nonprofits can manage their efforts seamlessly and volunteers can connect with causes that matter.

Our Goal

Empowering Communities: South Africa is known for its strength in unity, and we want to channel that energy to make volunteering a seamless part of everyday life.

Simplifying Volunteering: We’re committed to making it easy for nonprofits to manage events and for volunteers to get involved.

Driving Positive Change: By fostering connections between organisations and volunteers, we aim to create lasting social change, not just in South Africa, but across the world.

Our Mission "Ubuntu"

Thina is all about South Africa’s vibrant energy and strong community spirit. Inspired by ubuntu – "I am because we are" – we believe in the power of working together.

Our mission is to create a space where volunteers and organisations connect easily, making it simple to find causes that matter and helping nonprofits engage with passionate supporters, by streamlining the sign-up process and offering real-time booking for activities.
