You should donate to Grootbos Foundation’s Sports Development programme. Here’s why:

1. We keep 1489 children safe every day

We offer daily sports training for free to children from Gansbaai, Masakhane and Blompark. We ensure that children in our communities have positive pastimes and positive mentors.

2. We use sports to make a difference

Our Sports for Good programmes teach youth how to end the cycle of gender based violence, how to avoid risky behaviours that can lead to HIV, and how to be strong empowered women.

3. We feed children every day

Participants at our sports programmes receive a meal or snack at every engagement. Not only does this help keep our young sports participants healthy, fit, and strong, but it also helps alleviate some of the financial burden from families.

4. We are uplifting communities

Many of our coaches started as Sports Development beneficiaries and after many years of support and development, decided to participate in uplifting the next generation by becoming coaches in our programmes.
