When people suffer too much, they do not have the energy to help each other.

Siseko Outreach

The goal of the Siseko Outreach programme is to make sure that what happens at Legacy also have an impact outside the fences of the centre.  Legacy’s knowledge, skills, resources, and access to networks are made available to the broader community. Examples are:

The soccer league: Legacy takes responsibility for the coaching of two teams in the league of the Local Football Association (LFA). Kids who are not in the Legacy programmes are also part of these soccer teams.

Community sport on Fridays: On Friday afternoons kids from the community play on the Saracens sports fields under supervision of the Legacy facilitators.

Transforming Youth: We have been dreaming for many years to open the Legacy Hall on Friday evenings to create a ministry space for our teenagers and their friends.  This happened during 2018; the teens themselves decided on the name ‘Transforming Youth’. Several of our facilitators are the adult leaders and Stellenbosch Congregation plays an anchor and training role.

During the mornings space at the Legacy Centre is made available to other non-profit organisations.

Legacy also plays a pivotal role in networks like the Stellenbosch Civil Advocacy Network (SCAN), the Kayamandi non-profit network and ABBA (a network for organisations that work in the field of substance abuse.)
