Budyz creates safe spaces
City Vision
|May 15, 2025
The non-profit organisation (NPO) Soccer Budyz in Athlone was founded in 2017 by Fernando Classen with a mission rooted in community upliftment.
Recognising the powerful role that football can play in creating safe spaces and teaching valuable life skills he launched the programme to address a gap in early childhood development.
“The journey began with coaching sessions at Genesis Educare, my local church crèche, and has since grown into a city-wide initiative.
“Our vision is to use football as a tool for empowerment, education and development,” he says.
