NATALIA HORWITZ

Originally from the UK, Natalia graduated from Cambridge University with a BA Honours in English followed by an MA in Conflict Resolution from the Hebrew University. She worked as an Internal Communications consultant in the UK and later completed an additional qualification as a Family Mediator. Her passion for working with people is self-evident.

After finally settling down in South Africa, Natalia became intensely aware of the need for assistance within the Jewish community which provided her with the ideal opportunity to redirect her people- skills into the field of Chesed. Natalia started providing home-made Shabbat meals to a handful of families and, before long, the family initiative grew to the point that, in August 2020, Natalia co-founded Gan Tamar whose unique mandate focuses on providing recipients with both emotional as well as physical support and nourishment.
