Developed by AMANDLA, its partners and Senior Youth Leaders, the GoalGetter Programme involves all young people in the Life-Skills through Football League Programme and aims to:
- Equip them with a set of skills which increase their career opportunities;
- Provide a platform of dialogue for young people;
- Teach “life lessons” through sport.
The programme is rolled out on a weekly basis and is being implemented by AMANDLA coaching staff and Senior Youth Leaders. It was developed to meet the special needs and challenges for children growing up through the residential childcare system having been separated from family structures.
The Life Skill Programme is divided into three themes:
- Self-discovery
- Awareness
- Leadership
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.
