We are excited to share some incredible statistics from our sports development programme, which has made a real difference in the lives of children and youth since 2013.
• 59,500 children and youths have grown up in the safety and structure of the Grootbos Foundation sports programme, gaining valuable skills and support.
• 69 individuals have become Rising Stars, representing their region, province, or even their country, inspiring others with their achievements.
• 600 children have become water-safe and learnt to swim - an essential life skill in our coastal community.
• 405,063 meals have been served to children in the sports programme between 2022 and 2024, helping to fuel their potential.
Sports has proven to be a powerful driver of change, inspiration, and positive life choices. A big thank you to our dedicated team of coaches for their tireless commitment to shaping the future of these young individuals.
