Our Focus
Africa Jam serves high school age youth (and more recently children and pre-teens below the age of 13 years) in some of the most economically disadvantaged townships of South Africa’s Cape region. Pockets of young people in these communities regularly encounter violence, hunger, unemployment, and the perils of violence, gangsterism, substance abuse, and HIV and AIDS. Help is needed for building self-esteem, developing life skills, and establishing a promising future.
