Convergence and FSSA provide computer lab to Mogwase School in conjunction with FIFA football pitch. In conjunction with the opening of the new FIFA football pitch in Mogwase, North West Province, the Foundation for a Safer South Africa (FSSA) installed the first of its planned youth zone computer centres. Convergence Partners is proud to have assisted FSSA in the first of its remarkable endeavours to uplift the youth of rural communities through a combination of football, computer literacy and life skills.
In February, luminaries from FIFA, SAFA, the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture and the National Lottery Board officiated at the soil turning ceremony of the first of 52 planned football turfs as part of its World Cup 2010 legacy projects, in the Mogwase Region just outside Sun City near Rustenburg in the North West Province. At the same time, the FSSA installed the Mogwase Computer Center at the Holy Family Combined School.
FSSA, founded by former Minister Roelf Meyer, along with Idasa, formed a partnership with the World Cup Local Organising Committee to create a legacy that will impact the lives of vulnerable communities in a positive way. This partnership aims to use football as a uniting factor and catalyst for social development.
Convergence Partners is proud to be assisting FSSA in its endeavours through both financial support as well as guidance on its ICT needs.
