creating change through mountain biking and education in South Africa's townships (360G-CR-1448529)
Young people in South African townships are exposed to high levels of violence, neglect, poverty, unemployment, illiteracy and HIV. Engaging young people through sport provides a route to tackle some of these issues. This project will provide vulnerable young people from Diepsloot township with opportunities to participate in regular mountain biking training and competitions, access extra Maths and English tuition to support their schooling and to gain work experience. Girls and young women will also have the opportunity to join a leadership programme. As a result, young people will have increased self-esteem and confidence, and enhanced education and employment opportunities.
