..the Ticket to Ride Foundation's work with children (particularly girls) in the township of Masiphumelele, Cape Town.
The Ticket to Ride Foundation works in the township of Masiphumelele, in the southern suburbs of Cape Town. The township is home to 30,000 people and the Foundation works providing youth upliftment programmes for the young boys and girls of the township. Focused around sports and education, the foundation arranges football, netball, arts and crafts, clean-up projects and surfing projects to occupy the downtime after the school day, when the kids would otherwise be on the street.
The Foundation cares for 70 girls. Traditionally in the Xosha culture, girls do not have the same opportunities as boys and are often called on to leave school early to focus on the household chores. The Ticket to Ride Foundation allows the girls space to breath and the freedom to express themselves and sponsors three netball teams, a bead making programme and a surfing programme.
Our Chicks with Sticks mantra is 'be free to surf'. We can see that the work of the Ticket to Ride Foundation in Masiphumelele Township is all about providing the girls with new opportunities and the money raised at the art rumble will help to provide equipment for the various projects, such as netballs and kits for the teams, paint for the ad-hoc pitch in the car park on Kolobe St, beads for the bead making scheme and transport to get the girls to the beach and surfing once a week.
The girls have sent us some of their hand made necklaces for our art auction, they are winging their way to us now and we can't wait to see them ..
