Creating a better Mzansi through sport and development

EKN Youbuntu Human Rights Female Tournament, Eastern Cape

The project is a partnership between the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (EKN) and Foundation for a Safe South Africa (FSSA).

Youbuntu is a combination of the words Youth & Ubuntu referring to the African philosophy of shared humanity .

Youbuntu is a programme on it's own.

Young people in townships can only access their basic human rights if they have confidence, believe in themselves and grow the capacities to success in society.

Our focus is socio-economic with the four main objectives (and linked activities) being:

to promote social inclusion of girls through sport participation

to ensure the right to internet access to vulnerable youths

to promote social cohesion and cross-cultural skills

to improve entrepreneurship among township youth

The work Youthzones does, taking youth at risk, steering them away from harmful choices, turning them into role-models and change agents, is heroic work.
