Bokamoso Fitness Club cares for vulnerable children (those in poverty, abusive homes, child-headed homes, orphans, HIV positive). There are currently approximately 508 children within the program. These children span eleven different informal settlements/locations in the greater Johannesburg area and in Mpumalanga; each group consists of around 30-45 children.
George Phiri founded Bokamoso in 2019 when he saw a great need in the informal settlements for children between the ages of 8-15 years old who needed someone to advocate for them and teach them the importance of sex trafficking awareness and how to focus on healthy pastimes and activities.
George and his team and Gray Family Missions help provide food parcels, toiletries, stationery, clothes, blankets, and other essentials to the children as financially feasible. The Bokamoso team is made up of volunteers from the community who help teach the children how to stay fit and healthy; they hold weekly fitness and dance groups and educate the children on self-defense techniques and strategies to stay safe in their communities. Check out our monthly blogs to see what we’ve been up to each month!
Bokamoso started a Community Empowerment program in 2021, which provides “starter packs” to single moms and child-headed homes to begin their own food stalls to help sustain themselves and empower them to work towards a better life!
It takes a village….every donation goes straight to helping the children and their community; to partner with us and support this program, please see our banking details below. Thank you!
