Social Media

The Internet is the revolution of the twenty first century and we as a modern NGO, have embraced this powerful tool to help the less fortunate of our country. Our goal is to use sport as a medium to teach persons involved important aspects in life which include, discipline, routine, punctuality and of course confidence. When these aspects are part of your life it gives you direction and leads to a bigger and better life,which is of utter importance for The Imilli Project. We aim to empower every pupil involved with the project with computer knowledge to a point where they will successfully be able to build their own businesses online and see the computer as a household appliance and super important work tool and not a luxury for the rich people.

Imilli: The Beginning

Thanks for taking the time to check out our site – even if you came across us by accident! The project is in its very early stages and so we’ll be using this blog to document our process and interact with all of you. Our first accomplishment has been securing a venue in khayelitsha, however we still need to raise funds to equip the facility with computers and sports equipment. Before we can open our doors, we need a minimum of 20 computers on top of sports mats, roller blades and roller skates, knee and elbow guards, hockey sticks and a climbing wall - we will also need to get sports kits for the kids to wear; It would be amazing if we could get some of these items sponsored. We would also like to get refreshments sponsored aswell as possibly transport for the kids that use the centre. So, thats where you can help – do you perhaps have any suggestions regarding sponsorship or know of anybody/company that may be interested in helping the project? Do you have IT skills or sports interests that could qualify you to work with the project? If the answer is yes to any of these, either comment below or contact us directly – oh and of course, if you can; donate!
