A shot for open goal... Who scores?

“In the townships football isn’t merely seen as a sport, but as a means to survive”, says Thabiso Mekuto of Ajax Cape Town, one of the partners in the Bafanakids project.
Football is the favourite pastime for township youth. But there where football is most passionately supported, there is a serious lack of facilities. The Philippi township near Cape Town for example counts over half a million souls but only has one decent, safe sports ground.

This has to change!
For 1500 euros a year you can make a significant change. With your donation you become sponsor of a team that will be dressed in kits donning your company name and logo. You can even pick the club colours! Other than that the coaches receive a periodical training from professional sports organisations in the area like Ajax Cape Town. Also, the kids will be treated to a yearly getaway which would otherwise be an unaffordable luxury.
Bafanakids looks beyond 2010 and actively lobbies for more and better sports grounds in the townships. The non-profit project is initiated and supported by Abang Africa Trust, an experienced and awarded specialist in sustainable tourism. All you have to do is to finish the assist!
