Shikaya is an independent non-profit organisation that works with teachers to develop responsible young adults who value diversity, human rights and peace. Our mission is to affirm and support the crucial role of teachers and education in developing a society based on human rights, democracy, diversity and peace, and to help create democratic teaching and learning environments and opportunities in schools for young people to develop the skills and values of active, responsible and democratic citizens with a respect for human rights.

Shikaya has launched the South African Sudan Divestment Campaign because we believe that as South Africans we have a crucial role to play in ending the genocide currently taking place in Darfur. During apartheid citizens from all over the world protested in various ways to end the human rights abuses that were taking pace in our country. It is now South Africa’s turn to speak out for citizens of another country that are in need.

Shikaya is looking for partners and volunteers in the South African Sudan Divestment Campaign. To become involved please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
