Welcome to the Cuban Alumni Association of South Africa

Why join CAASA?

Your journey in Cuba gave you more than a qualification. It connected you to a shared story of resilience, solidarity and service. CAASA is where that connection continues — bringing Cuban alumni across South Africa together, across professions and generations.

By joining, you become part of a community where we can find one another, share knowledge, mentor the next generation and work together to make a greater difference. Whether you are a doctor or a graduate in another field, newly qualified or established in your career, your experience and contribution matter.

Together, we are building towards CAASA Connect and CAASA Academy, alongside initiatives for mutual support, economic empowerment, youth development and solidarity with the Cuban people. Joining now is an opportunity to help shape these programmes — not simply to benefit from a network, but to strengthen it for every alumnus who follows.

Honour our shared roots. Invest in our collective future. Join CAASA and help turn our individual journeys into lasting collective impact.
