Personal message

Support the Songo Optimist dinghy in The Great Optimist Race and help us not only make it first across the finishing line but also onto the Fundraising Leaderboard. 

Songo has humble beginnings: from a dream of providing a safe space for children to play on bikes, it has evolved into a Sports and Academic support programme focused on creating a long-term impact for the children in Kayamandi, Stellenbosch. 

Our key objective is that every child that comes through the songo.info program goes on to be a confident, well-rounded individual who is gainfully employed and a contributing community member. We currently have 50 children aged 6 to 24 in the songo.info family.
