1. Executive Summary
This proposal, jointly submitted by SayPro and CKG Holdings, presents a strategic plan to strengthen and expand after-school programs in Delft, Cape Town. Recognizing the critical need for safe, structured, and empowering environments for school-aged children, this initiative seeks to build on existing efforts by the Western Cape Government and civil society. The program will focus on academic support, enrichment activities, life skills training, and recreational development, with the overarching goal of improving learner outcomes and community resilience.
The SayPro-CKG partnership brings together expertise in youth development, education, infrastructure, and community engagement, ensuring the successful implementation and sustainability of high-quality after-school interventions in Delft.
2. Background and Context
Delft, one of Cape Town’s fastest-growing and most underserved communities, faces high levels of unemployment, school dropout, crime, and social instability. Many children in Delft return to empty homes or unsafe environments after school, lacking the supervision and support required for healthy development.
After-school programs have proven to be effective in:
- Reducing risky behavior.
- Improving academic performance.
- Enhancing social and emotional skills.
- Providing opportunities for positive peer engagement.
Building on successful models like the MOD (Mass Participation, Opportunity and Access, Development and Growth) Programme and initiatives such as the Seven Passes Initiative, this proposal aims to formalize and scale up comprehensive after-school programming in Delft.
