To reach more girls in the violent settlements in Atlantis and Khaylitcha, Boxgirls Cape Town started its school reach out programme.
Read here, what Boxgirls local associate Ntsikie experienced during one of the first school visits:
Boxgirls International made a name for itself in the township of Khayelitsha in Capetown, South Africa:
”On the 13. of September the Vuzamanzi Primary school was overcrowded, students were observing behind the windows, teachers were excited motivating girls.
The coach Andiswa Madikane was well occupied with 60 girls on the first day, who were eager to learn how to throw a jab. She finally ended up training the girls outside the classrooms.
All the girls were very talented and energetic, so teaching them we had as much fun as them. Already after the first training, they stated, that they want to train now everyday. Their new motto since then is “no more tears“. They valued, that with the boxing training they are not scared of bullies at school anymore.
I was not the only one being impressed by this crowd of amazing and brilliant girls, that shared their stories with no fear.”
