CEO of the foundation Richard Mabaso said launching the project is going to play
a significant role when it comes to empowering young people from disadvantage
communities .”The foundation was established in 2009 with the aiming to empower
rural communities ,but it’s not the first to launched this project but this time
around we have decided to give learners an opportunity to use their talent in
two types of sports which is soccer and netball because we have noticed that in
rural areas in the province the are lot of young girls and boys who are talented
but they don’t get a especial training so that can use uit to have a brighter
future “he explained .He alluded that during the launch of the project they were
not focus only in sports activities but they learners get an opportunities to
discuss about lot of challenges that they faced in daily bases in their
communities since they were sharing ideas with delegates who are coming from
England who graced the event .”We didn’t only give them an opportunity to shine
with their talent in sports , as they were also discussions regarding the
challenges that they face in life ,We can’t run away from reality our youth are
facing lot of problems such as teenager pregnancy ,school drop –out and
substance abuse just to name the few. I want to indicated that the money that we
fund raised through our project it helps a lot because we able to use it back to
the communities “.This paper learnt that it’s not for the first time for Mabaso
to be on the sports light of ploughing back to the communities, during the
Mandela month , he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with Sibusiso Vilane the first
