Overview of Cape Town Collaboration
Crime & Violence is prevalent in our society, especially in previously disadvantaged communities on the Cape Flats, namely Langa, Lavender hill, Steenberg, Lotus River etc…
Due to the socio-economic conditions our people lived in under our previous government, poverty, unemployment, gutter education, lack of social amenities widely contributed to present day unfavorable conditions in which disadvantaged youth find themselves in.
Thus a concerned party of young adults have established an organisation, namely The Cape Town Collaboration which is non-racial, non-religious, non- sexist and non- governmental. A organisation of young professional adults who are well-known in their communities for their leadership, business skills, activism in skills development and musical talents are spearheading this vibrant initiative.
The purpose of instituting this organisation is mainly to create a medium whereby the youth of our community will be encouraged to participate in activities such as arts, dance and music. Music will be our main conduit in attracting the youth to be part of this dynamic movement, but youth and community upliftment training through workshops, interventions, life coaching and skill development is a passion of the organisation.
Our principle objective is to empower our youth with leadership abilities and life skills. In addition we wish to instill honesty, integrity and a sense of social responsibility, thereby equipping our youth with expertise in good governance.
Furthermore we wish to rid our community of social evils such as crime, substance abuse and violence.
And finally to assist organisations, churches, sports clubs with fund-raising at a professional level or to host fundraisers and donate funds raised to deserving organisations.
