The incredible amount of R26,000 raised from the 2016 Innit2Winnit went to Altus Sport. They used this money to build and resurface the netball and tennis courts at the Phutaditschaba
Primary School in Atteridgeville.
Please see the report from Sam, at Altus Sports below:
ALTUS SPORT is a locally registered NGO-NPO based in Pretoria and has 21 years of experience in the sport for development field.
It focuses on disadvantaged township and rural communities where poverty levels, crime, HIV/AIDS prevalence, teenage pregnancy, rape, violence, bullying, drugs, alcohol and unemployment are high.
In response to these issues Altus Sport implements a sustainable sport educational programme which aims to assist kids and coaches in these developing communities to expand their sporting environment and equip them in making positive choices in life.
Unemployed youth in the township areas are identified and trained in the “Life’s a ball” programme on a monthly basis in basic coaching, leadership, life skills, innovation, project management, gender equality, Olympism, employability and social entrepreneurship. These trained coaches then offer sport-based lessons to disadvantaged kids addressing health, environment, basic financial literacy, read & write sessions and chess which are combined with everyday life skill values.
