YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
The South African Football Association’s (Safa’s) Development Agency (SDA) is urging corporate companies to partner and invest in its football-based Safe-Hub programme, which aims to encourage youth to engage in life skills programmes through the use of football.  The Safe-Hub programme – which is modelled after nongovernment organisation Amandla EduFootball’s Safe-Hub in Cape Town – hopes to repeat the original programme’s success of reducing crime-related incidents by 44% and improving learner’s math and English pass rate by 49%.
