Our founding ethos is the belief that every child deserves love, respect and hope in their lives.

Founded by Anthony and Carole Record in 2004, Light From Africa Foundation began its journey with a team of artists who were employed and trained to work in the ceramic medium. Through the creation and sale of handmade candle holders, the foundation began its project of raising funds for children affected by HIV/AIDS in Khayelitsha, Cape Town.

Today, Light From Africa Foundation has massively increased its reach with a variety of options for donors as well as a range of functional ceramic products and a series of venues which generate further income through the sale of art.

With the combination of extensive fundraising efforts as well as a wide network of leading artists and designers who now share our vision, the foundation is able to harness generosity and talent to generate urgently required financial support for charities and community led initiatives around the country.

With a vision to advance our efforts, the Light From Africa Foundation embarks on two exciting new initiatives in August 2011 with the official launch of  ART HUBS and BRIGHT IDEAS
