About us
Starting Point Foundation is a youth empowerment organization dedicated to transforming the lives of young people and communities in the Cape Flats. Our mission is to break the cycles of poverty, violence, and crime by providing opportunities for growth, leadership, and resilience. Through integrated programs that combine sports, mentorship, life skills, and academic support, we help youth overcome systemic barriers and discover their potential. We believe in building strong communities where young people have access to the tools, resources, and opportunities they need to succeed. Our approach is centered on fostering empowerment, community solidarity, self-reliance, and growth. By cultivating these values, we inspire youth to become leaders, change-makers, and active participants in shaping their future. At Starting Point Foundation, we are committed to advocating for social justice, dismantling inequality, and uplifting marginalized communities. We focus on developing the next generation of resilient leaders who will drive positive change, not only for themselves but for their communities as well. Join us in creating a brighter, more inclusive future for the youth of the Cape Flats!

On April 3rd, the Starting Point Foundation team had the pleasure of collecting a generous donation from Mr. Price Sport. Our Sisonke Soccer program received a fantastic starter kit of soccer balls and training equipment, which will be used to kick off our sessions with at-risk and critically at-risk boys in and around Heideveld. The first session launches at the end of the month, where the boys will be introduced to one another, meet the SPF team, and learn about the goals of the program—leadership, discipline, and community building through sport. A heartfelt thank you to Mr. Price Sport, and a special thanks to our contact person Bianca Friedman , along with the kind Canal Walk store team, for your support in helping us empower youth through sport. #YouthEmpowerment #CommunityDevelopment #StartingPointFoundation #SisonkeSoccer #MrPriceSport #CanalWalk #SportsForChange #CapeFlatsYouth
