CoolPlay, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) in Cape Town, has made it its mission to continue teaching school children life skills by using sport to encourage them, even during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The NGO, which has been around for more than a decade, is operating from five hubs in the Western Cape.
CoolPlay CEO Tori Gardner said the organisation supported 21 schools in the province by encouraging “social-emotional learning and inculcating life skills via sport and life orientation lessons”.
“Khayelitsha, South Peninsula, the northern suburbs, Stellenbosch and the Koue Bokkeveld have been chosen as our main focus areas where we provide our services,” she said.
According to Gardner, these areas have been identified because they have some of the “toughest scenarios” for kids to grow up in.
