About AAF

---

Our mission is to uplift South Africa’s disadvantaged communities through sport. We believe that sport can be a powerful tool to improve access to education and produce conscientious community leaders. Our primary focus is on improving children’s educational opportunities by increasing their knowledge of both sport and fitness, as well as supporting youth and adult athletes and coaches in sport, education and career pathways. 

Operating from South Africa, we are committed to helping athletes and coaches across Africa achieve their goals. We recognize that Africa produces amazing athletes, but many fail to reach their full potential due to lack of support and resources. Additionally, we understand that many teachers have the passion but lack the education necessary for safe and effective training.  

Our programs and support aim to address these challenges and promote opportunities for athletes and coaches to compete and develop at the local, national and international levels. We offer a comprehensive range of services, from training and education to access to resources and networking opportunities. Our ultimate goal is to empower communities through sport and create a brighter future for all.

Through our programmes, we strive to provide our youth with comprehensive support, including access to training, equipment and mentoring programs. We work closely with communities and organizations to identify and address the unique needs and challenges faced by young people in Africa. Our ultimate goal is to create a generation of empowered African youth equipped with the skills and knowledge to become leaders in their communities and beyond. Through athletics, basketball and soccer, we believe we can contribute to a brighter future for Africa and its people.
