About us


We are Matimba

Our organization – named for the Xitsonga word for strength and power – was founded in 2019 to support trans and gender variant children, teenagers and their families. All children deserve a childhood. We strive every day to cultivate a safe and caring environment for trans and gender variant youth. For these children and teens, we are advocates. For their families, we offer both support and education. Join us in our mission to improve and celebrate the lives of trans and gender-variant individuals everywhere.
