Swiftresponse is a non-profit organisation in Uitenhage (South Africa) that uses football as a tool to bring about social change. The focus is to show children and young people perspectives and alternatives to destructive lifestyles through football. Each training session therefore begins with a small lesson on various topics. In addition to the regular lessons, Swiftresponse also offers support to families who cannot afford to send their children to school. Throughout the year there are offers and tournaments taking place at the weekends. Girls and boys play in mixed teams. The focus here is on topics such as gender equality, fair play and respect. During the holidays, holiday camps are offered and once a year there is a big party with a ceremony to honour all participants*. A further goal of the organisation is the establishment of a development centre in which members have access to further educational opportunities, computers and the Internet – and in which workshops can be offered on a regular basis.
