Be The Difference Foundation
Back Chat was joined today by Granthem Abrahams to discuss the Be The Difference Foundation which was established by Granthem in 2014. Granthem discusses what the organisation is about & what programmes they provide for the youth in their surrounding communities.
Granthem mentions that Be The Difference is all about
applying words into action and instead of saying you want to make a difference
in your community you need to take action and make a difference in your
community and giving hope to the youth in those communities.
What inspired Granthem to start an organisation for
youth and social development, was that he wanted to give back and let others to
have the same experiences that he had growing up, during the rise of Covid-19
BTDF managed to serve 1 750 people on a daily bases.
Granthem discussed that Be The Difference is all about
serving hope and giving back to the kids of the community. Every kid that is
part of BTDF has their strengths and weaknesses, whether it be sport or
academics, BTDF aims to give each child strength in both fields.
Be the Difference sport programme gives kids an
opportunity to play outside of Cape Town, the school programme looks to create
opportunities at top 20 schools in South Africa where kids can learn for free
which they already have 45 kids on bursaries.
