FGSG’s Mission
The mission of FGSG is clear and compelling: to utilize sports as a catalyst for change, providing hope and experiences that can positively transform lives.

Building Strong Relationships

Challenges and Future Plans
Despite its successes, FGSG faces significant challenges, primarily related to funding. Many teams operate with minimal financial support, relying on affiliation fees to cover prizes, which limits the scope of the rewards and hampers the development of robust programs. Koape and his team remain committed to overcoming these obstacles by seeking relevant stakeholders to support their mission.
#OvercomingChallenges #FundingNeeds
Looking ahead, Koape envisions FGSG hosting a diverse array of sports events, not only to encourage participation but also to connect youth with opportunities for further development. The upcoming second soccer tournament during the September school holidays in Vosloorus is a testament to this ongoing effort.

A Commitment to Change

His commitment to activating and disseminating information to young athletes is unwavering.
