A key objective of Maccabi SA is to assist those in need, both in the Jewish and non-Jewish communities. We have begun to build the foundations for a meaningful Maccabi Outreach Programme while also supporting charitable sporting causes.

We have three key focus areas:

1. The establishment of the Maccabiah Youth Fund, which provides financial and/or other assistance to Jewish sportspersons who would otherwise not be able to attend the Maccabiah and experience Israel.

2. Facilitating a transfer of skills from our coaches to community coaches who may be in need of training, knowledge, mentorship and practical experience, thereby assisting them to become self-sufficient.

3. Sourcing sports equipment for disadvantage individuals and communities…

SPORTS EQUIPMENT DONATION:

An ongoing Maccabi SA project is the collection and donation of second hand SPORTS EQUIPMENT & CLOTHING, whereby we identify and deliver equipment to the relevant community in need. The current primary recipient of equipment donations is Afrika Tikkun, who manage an excellent sports programme as part of their Cradle to Career model.

We appeal to you to please donate any sports equipment and clothes for all ages that is still in good condition. All goods are welcome but the following is especially useful:

• Balls: soccer, rugby, netball, cricket, tennis, squash
• Cricket: bats, pads, helmets, gloves, boxes
