Introduction
Our goal is to provide our local township school in South Africa with the necessary resources and improved infrastructure to provide activities for the children. Due to the lack of funding most rural or informal schools don't have sports equipment, proper infrastructure or playgrounds. Without safe outdoor activities at a young age, children are at risk of poor health as well as putting themselves in danger when they to play in unsupervised areas.
Report
The long-term impact of this project will be to boost the overall health and wellbeing of the children in the school as well hopefully motivating children to take it further, as a career in sports education or even inspire young professional athletes. By providing the necessary resources, equipment and infrastructure we hope to give these children a sense of pride in their schooling and motivate them as they are not missing out on a key part of their education.
