Amandla EduFootball

Nineteen percent of all children in South Africa are orphaned. Even more are in need of care due to other circumstances, such as abuse within the family. Amandla EduFootball’s sports, leadership and life skills, and community empowerment programs work to prevent at-risk young people from joining gangs or becoming involved in other criminal or violent activities, provide information on health risks such as drugs, HIV/AIDS, crime; and ensure regular school attendance and safe residential housing. Young participants learn to respect boundaries and authority and to become responsible and active members of society.

EMpower’s second grant is enabling Amandla Edufootball to focus on strengthening their system of monitoring and evaluation, learn from their findings and adapt their program to better serve the needs of their participants.
