Our programmes are designed to develop and empower youth in the townships and contribute to community building efforts as a mechanism to reduce the levels of crime and violence.
Our mission statement of "weaving a barrier against violence" is achieved by providing educational and cultural activities, offering a healthy alternative to crime, drugs, sex, idleness and negative influences, also unlocking creative talents. We currently reach over 1 500 children weekly, and our programmes place a focus on the creative side of the brain, allowing the children to express themselves in an imaginative environment. It opens up opportunities to become future leaders, entrepreneurs and well rounded citizens in a global society. Our programmes include:
The number of children we are able to reach is directly proportionate to the support we get from compassionate visionaries like you. Funding is needed to continue our vision of providing a brighter future with greater opportunities for children from disadvantaged communities, thereby mobilising the economy against the challenges of the future.
