Amy Foundation

The Foundation:

The Amy Foundation is a non-profit organisation that offers programmes to develop and empower youth, ages 5-35, living in challenged and vulnerable communities within the Western Cape. Their After School Programme supplements the shortcomings of the educational system in the townships. By focusing on creativity the Amy Foundation aims to make learning enjoyable while also fostering the drive for academic success. Their Youth Skills Development Programme prepares young people for employment.

Many individuals in Relate's production team were introduced by the Amy Foundation.
