The Amy Biehl Foundation (ABF) is a non-profit organisation based in Cape Town whose programmes are designed to develop and empower youth in the townships and contribute to community building efforts as a mechanism to reduce the levels of crime and violence in these areas and aims to give them opportunities to become future leaders and entrepreneurs in society. This is achieved by providing educational and cultural activities that offer students healthy alternatives to crime, drugs, sex, idleness and negative influences and unlocks their creative talent. Our programmes reach thousands of children every week, and include:

• After School Programme
• Sport including soccer, hockey, swimming, diving, netball, surfing, cricket, kickboxing and Khayelitsha/Mitchell’s Plain Golf Driving Range

To ensure continuation and growth of our programmes, which have been running very successfully for the past nine years, we need donations and sponsorships from individuals and companies. Your support will help make a difference to the lives and future of these children.
