1. To develop a holistic and sustainable sport for development programme for both girls and boys in residential childcare facilities which educates them on various risks they are exposed to and provides them with the necessary skills and tools to forge their own independent future.
2. By 2013, to engage over 5000 girls and boys from residential childcare facilities in developmental football league programmes, life-skills through sport programmes and youth leadership programmes on a weekly basis in four Southern African cities.
3. To become a leading organisation in the sport for development sector in Southern Africa, integrated in relevant networks and developing effective programmes and evaluation tools through sharing resources and building of partnerships with likeminded organisations.
AMANDLA's target demographic is youth staying in residential childcare facilities in South Africa. Exact figures on how many youth are currently placed in residential facilities is not available. However, according to the Children Count ZA institute 18.6% of all children in South Africa are orphaned which does not include children in need of care due to alternative circumstances.
