AMANDLA uses the power of sport combined with holistic education to empower young people and to change lives. As a catalyst, the Safe-Hubs serve as safe, educational centres in communities characterised by poverty, unemployment and inequality. OUR STORY AMANDLA was established in Khayelitsha, the largest township in South Africa, in 2007. Florian Zech founded the organisation with support from a team of local and international volunteers. He had been working and living in a Khayelitsha orphanage for a year as part of his civil service. During this time Florian experiences local youths' desperate need for education and alternatives to the crime, violence and substance abuse that surround them. Together with young people from Khayelitsha, he developed the AMANDLA idea. What began as a response to young people's need in Khayelitsha has become a globally recognized platform to catalyse social change. Our evidence-based approach to youth development is designed to disrupt the intergenerational cycles of poverty, unemployment and inequality that trap young people growing up in the urbans slums. OUR MISSION ... is to create safe spaces that bring together the power of football and learning to empower youth and change lives. OUR VISION ... is a world where all young people access equal opportunities, strive to realise their full potential and dare to dream.
