FREEWAY CENTER

Freeway Center is a Rehab and Sober Living Home based in Cape Town which offers a recovery and discipleship program for men battling with drug & alcohol abuse and other forms of addiction.  The center provides those in need with a faith based recovery program, tools and skills training that gives them the direction and foundation to begin a sustainable, productive re-integration back into society. PPC has partnered with Freeway Center by providing cement, a brickmaking machine and brickmaking educational workshop to upskill those who would like to learn and make bricks for the community.

JP21 FOUNDATION

PPC has partnered with the JP21 Foundation, founded by former South African cricketer, JP Duminy in 2014 as a school cricket league that seeks to promote a positive and healthy lifestyle while creating a platform for meaningful interaction amongst underprivileged communities and learners, through the game of cricket.

The foundation uses the sport as a catalyst for positive change in underprivileged communities in Strandfontein, Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain. The organisation started a school cricket league in these areas, but continues to face challenges in terms of providing learners with cricket infrastructure: the pitches and nets they need to practice and perfect their game.

Empowerment at PPC is living our brand promise of STRENGTH BEYOND daily.  The beneficiaries of the cricket pitches will benefit from PPC’s brand promise, through the JP21 Foundation relationships with cricket bodies. The partnership and infrastructure creation will allow the learners to be involved in cricket, keep the children in the community off the streets and encourage teamwork as the sport forces members to work together in a team.

Mandela Day initiative with JP 21 Foundation at Yellowwood Primary School

For Mandela Day 2020, PPC teamed up with the JP21 Foundation and MOT SA to make a difference at a community level with our COVID care campaign.

PPC's contribution towards this pilot project went towards providing educational material, stationery, nutritional packs, training of coaches, hand sanitizer stations at each school and face shields for teachers at the school. Forming part of PPC’s efforts to empower people to experience a better quality for life, PPC and JP21 Foundation saw the need to address education, food and nutrition around COVID-19 in the Mitchells Plain community.

Working with MOT SA to educate the learners on COVID-19 hygiene practices, the programme will run for five school days at each school. The collaboration is an effort to create a positive impact in disadvantaged communities and schools.

In recognition of the tough economic times that have affected us during the lockdown, the partners have come together to give the community a better quality for life”, said JP Duminy, founder of the JP21 Foundation.

PPC has also donated cement to Yellowwood Primary to build a bus shelter and security booth for the school.
