At Addo Football Youth Academy (AFYA), we believe in the power of football, education, and mentorship to change the course of a young person’s life. Based in the township of Nomathamsanqa, Eastern Cape, our programs give youth the structure, support, and inspiration they need to dream bigger and break cycles of poverty.

But we can’t do it alone.

We rely on meaningful partnerships with businesses that want to make a difference and who also want to meet their B-BBEE compliance goals. Here’s how supporting AFYA can help your business earn valuable Socio-Economic Development (SED) points.

100% Black South African Beneficiaries

AFYA’s programs benefit 100% black South African youth, far exceeding the 75% minimum requirement set out in the B-BBEE Codes of Good Practice. This means any qualifying support you provide to AFYA is fully eligible for SED recognition.

What Kind of Support Qualifies?

Whether you’re a small business or a large corporate, there are several ways to contribute:

Monetary donations that help fund our programs (education support, football coaching, life skills, and mentorship)
In-kind donations like sports equipment, transport, meals, or digital tools
Employee volunteering or mentoring time
Sponsorship of training or development initiatives

What Will You Receive from Us?

We make it easy for you to claim your SED points. After your contribution, we provide:

An official acknowledgment letter confirming the nature and value of your donation, and that it directly benefits black South Africans
If applicable, a Section 18A certificate for tax deduction (for monetary donations)
Optional: Impact reports or visuals to use in your internal reports or CSI materials

Real Impact. Real Compliance.

Supporting AFYA helps your business:

Earn up to 5 full SED points on your B-BBEE scorecard
Demonstrate a meaningful commitment to transformation and community upliftment
Align with youth development, education, and social justice initiatives: all while strengthening your brand

Let’s Build Something Together

If your company is planning its B-BBEE or CSI strategy this year, we’d love to talk. We can tailor a partnership that fits your budget, aligns with your compliance goals, and most importantly - changes lives.
