HomeGround Initiative

The Homeground Initiative is an integrated childhood to young adulthood educational programme funded by UNICEF in partnership with the National Department of Basic Education and the Sportstec Foundation.

The aim of the sports-based programme is to provide broad-based support to local primary schools, high schools and the community to enable the educational and personal development of children and young people in the isolated rural community of Geluksburg in Kwa Zulu Natal (KZN).
