Safehubs
Project Description
The Johannesburg Development Agency (JDA) undertook the construction of the Alexandra Safe-hub and the Jabulani Safe-hub.
The globally award-winning the Safe-Hub Model has been designed to disrupt the intergenerational cycles of poverty, unemployment and inequality that trap young people growing up in disadvantaged communities.
A Safe-Hub is a world-class infrastructure that provides a physically and emotionally safe space where young people access services, opportunities and support through sports, arts and culture-based programmes that focus on personal development, health, safety, education, accredited training, employability and local economic development.
Through healthy, strong relationships with well-trained role models, coaches and facilitators, young people are encouraged to explore their independence and individuality, build a core set of values, and realise their full potential.
