Creating lasting change and transforming lives.

Imagine a world where every child has access to quality education and a safe environment, free from the dangers of the streets. Sadly, for many children, this is not their reality. They face numerous challenges that hinder their educational opportunities and expose them to the risks associated with street life.

At The Buffalo Foundation, we firmly believe that every child deserves a chance to thrive and succeed. That's why we have made it our mission to help Bonga Cycling Academy provide after-school education programs that empower children, keeping them off the streets and opening doors to a brighter future.

The Buffalo Foundation tries to always be there for the children in the services that we offer, in need of contact and support.

Bonga.Org Cycling Academy is a social development program that provides sports (cycling) and recreational activities to children. Their Academy offers a safe place to play and grow, establishing values of accountability and responsibility, teaching goal setting and instilling in children the ability to dream and achieve their goals. The academy was established in 2015 out of a room in the township.

Bonga Cycling Academy is based in a township called Khayelitsha on the Cape Flats and is reputed to be the largest and fastest-growing township in South Africa. In the township world, there is so little consistency, we try to create a buffer for the children to not experience the ups and downs of a Not-for-Profit organisation and only promise that we can honour building trust with the children where they can come to rely on services and facilities being.

The Foundation has also helped Bonga establish a new digital presence with a new website. Bonga has exciting plans for the future and has key values that the academy is run by, which are:

Trust is at the core of our program including building trust with our sponsors, our donors and the children so that they know they can rely on the program and that the program respects and values each child. Provide education support to high school level;

Bonga Cycling Academy's mission is to run a consistent and sustainable sports development program providing children with opportunities to participate in recreational and competitive sporting activities while contributing to the social upliftment of the community.
