Stakeholders

The foundation is about giving priority to youth development in Africa, using sports medicine as a solution of choice. It is therefore the aim of the foundation to cultivate and explore relationships that seek to advance its youth vision forward. Defined below are the types of partner(s) we envisage working with;

Township & Rural Schools

The aim of the foundation is to foster strategic relations with schools in rural and township areas in order to launch and drive programs effectively. Schools play an instrumental role in streamlining key information and communication to the students and learners. Schools are the custodians of learning and therefore our part is to help enhance that which the school already does.

Community Centers

The foundation will mainly operate within the extremities of township and rural youth development in order to advance the scourge of underprivileged youth. Through working with community centers we will ensure that the development envisaged filters through the community structures to enable broad based youth participation. Community centers are central to community engagement and communication.

Municipal Structures

Our partnerships extend to organized structures operating within the various municipalities. These structures include industry specific associations to regulatory bodies. These will help strengthen our resource capacity. These strategic partnerships will form a resourceful network that will aid the foundation in advancing its programs efficiently and adequately.

Government Departments

Sports Medicine is an effective tool to command community participation. Sports in general is one of the greatest mass draw cards for mass attraction. Opportunities lie in the foundation working with various departments in its own programs or at times simply plugging into departmental programs to further boost the mandate..

Brands

It is important to recognise that young people are the largest consumers of products i.e. food, clothing, gadgets etc. on the other hand brands are the biggest influencers of consumer behavior. We acknowledge that these two worlds need each other for survival. The foundation will therefore make it its duty to bring these two together through innovative programs that will see youth and brands interact to maximize on their ongoing relationship.

Private Sector

As a non-profit organisation, the foundation relies on donated funds and support for survival. The private sector is where we hope to establish local and international relations with various companies who share in our vision. The aim is to collaborate and work with companies whose mission and ethos share synergy with our vision.

NPO/NGO’s

As a foundation we believe that unity is strength, therefore our desire is to collaborate with other organisations similar to us in order to advance common causes. We believe some of these collaborations will raise greater awareness as well as reach much greater heights than any one individual organisation can.
