Story 1
The Brian Molapisane Foundation hosted a remarkable soccer event at the Noordwyk Secondary School, as part of its ongoing league, which is held under the impactful #ProtectABoyChild campaign.

Founder of the foundation Brian Molapisane says the day was not just about sports, but was a gathering of purpose, mentorship and healing for the boy child, through the power of football.

The initiative seeks to bridge that gap – encouraging men to stand up as role models – while offering young boys a safe space where they are seen, valued and guided.
