Personal message
Reclaiming the streets: Children often roam the streets after school while their parents are at work due to the lack of afterschool activities at township schools. They are vulnerable to high levels of crime, common accidents and can fall prey to violent gangs that actively recruit children.
Join hands with Ikamva Labantu to train safety marshalls to supervise outdoor activities such as soccer and dance in the streets as well as unused public spaces. This is an opportunity for you to give children back their freedom to play outdoors while preventing the transmission of COVID-19 in overcrowded indoor spaces. Safely supervised sport is an excellent tool to promote children’s development. It gives them a chance to develop their problem-solving and decision-making skills, while using imagination and creativity. Your support of this project will provide the marshalls with the dignity of paid work and an opportunity to develop leadership skills.
Thank you for caring!
With gratitude,
The Ikamva Labantu Team

In the early 1960s, Helen Lieberman and other courageous activists responded to the unjust conditions of South African Apartheid by setting up survival initiatives in the Western Cape. In 1992, the coordination of these initiatives was formalised and Ikamva Labantu, meaning “Future of The People”, was launched as a non-governmental and non-profit organisation. Ikamva Labantu’s work focuses on early childhood development, the well-being of older persons and after-school initiatives that keep children safe and off the streets.
