An opportunity for young people to secure safe and sustainable futures
Ten Foundation
Ten Foundation was founded in 1997 by Robi Valkhoff and her team to celebrate the 10th anniversary of CAOS, Conference Organisers. Instead of gifts they asked for donations allowing them to start the foundation. In the past 20 years the foundation managed to initiate, support and complete a large number of projects.
The foundation’s first project was the start and completion of a children’s orphanage in Karoi, Zimbabwe. To this day, the foundation still supports this home but has also broadened its ambition: That is, to initiate and support projects that enable young adults to have a solid and stable future by focusing on health, education, social interaction and being valuable members of society, for example through the development of job opportunities.

Up-to-date report of activities carried out
In 2018, we were forced to make a standstill because of the political unrest. We have guided a couple of children on their path to further independency, together with Philip Bohwasi. During that search we met Valentine Magutsa, who is a renowned and appreciated artist in Zimbabwe. Together with Valentine we want to research the possibility of starting a new project this year (2019).
