Empower 1300 kids through sport & education

The VUSA Rugby & Learning Academy continues to make strides in providing grassroots sport and academic support to young children in the community.

VUSA focuses on promoting rugby as a sport, while also providing academic support in English and Maths to children from the Langa Community in Cape Town. The academy has been successful in encouraging children to become more physically active and engaged in learning.

 Outings and activities outside are a great way to expose children to new people places and experiences.  At the end of last year, parents of Grade 6 & 7 learners at Bishops Prep  held a Christmas party for the children, now an annual event which has become a great success. The party is a way to bring the community together and celebrate the holiday season. The children had a great time, and the event helped to foster a sense of community spirit among the families involved.

In addition to the Christmas party,VUSA also organized a beach outing for the children. The trip was a chance for the children to experience something new and exciting, and it was a great opportunity for them to socialize with their peers in a fun and safe environment.

One of the key features of VUSA is the daily hot meal that is provided to the children. For many of these children, this is the only hot meal they will have each day. The meal helps to ensure that the children are getting the proper nutrition they need to stay healthy and focused on their academic and athletic pursuits.  2022 has been a successful year in providing children with the tools they need to succeed, both on and off the field. 

VUSA has become an important part of the Langa community, and we look forward to seeing its continued success in2023.
