For over 20 years Afrika Tikkun has been instrumental in implementing development programmes to assist disadvantaged young people realise their full potential.

To kick off the relationship, Maccabi SA arranged a sports equipment and clothing handover on 4 March 2016 at the Afrika Tikkun Centre in Braamfontein. Chairman of Maccabi SA, Clifford Garrun and Exco members delivered boxes of new and second hand gear, which included: Soccer, Rugby, Basketball, Tennis and general sports equipment.

These goods will be used to support Afrika Tikkun\u2019s programmes at their five Community Centres and will be a big boost to the quality of the sports programme.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019The platform of sport provides Maccabi SA with the ability to effectively engage with communities and importantly contribute to increased health and wellness. In a very small way, we are delighted to be able to assist the outstanding efforts of Afrika Tikkun\u2019\u2019, commented Garrun.<\/p>\n<p>Maccabi SA is working closely with Afrika Tikkun\u2019 s Thomas Taole (National Sports Manager), to identify requirements and develop a successful relationship going forward.
