Sport, art, culture
The main purpose of the Ndlovu sports, arts and culture program is to promote the talents of young people and improve their fitness. However, the programme also sees itself as a safe haven for young children who could become victims of abuse in the disorganized after-school environment.
In order to keep children off the streets and away from the associated dangers such as drugs, alcohol, crime or teenage pregnancies, it is important to offer them meaningful alternative activities.
