Our Programmes

Sport

A place where young people come to have fun as they learn and gain skills in the process. 

Friendships are encouraged and nurtured. Activities that take place during our sessions include among others: games, drumming, dancing, singing and learning about other cultures.

Creative Arts

A music dance and drama celebrating the Heritage of our young people. We use the Arts as a non-threatening way to community hard subject matters like sectarianism, Racism, identity, bullying and many more. We focus on the beauty and uniqueness of Africa and helps demystify the myths that have come to be associated with Africa as a continent.  Music as well as the virtual arts, drama and dance has given us insight in the way the young people's minds works.
