The JAG Foundation is in its 15th year of creating sustainable change in high-risk communities in South Africa. Utilising sport and play as educational tools to impart life skills and offer children in these communities an alternative lifepath to gangsterism, drugs, and abuse. Our value-based play programmes, target children’s degraded belief system of themselves, their community, their lives, and future. By creating safe and trusted environments in which learning and self-esteem building can take place, we expose children to the real and attainable opportunity of an alternative life path, one of hope and an escape from a societal predisposition of their future.
