SAFE-HUB
adidas and Common Goal have teamed up for Move For The Planet to fund projects around the world, all with one central mission – to provide education on sustainability and adapt the infrastructure of sports facilities. Safe-Hub creates safe, inclusive spaces where young people can play, learn and thrive – using the power of sport and education to strengthen communities and build a more equitable future.
The townships in this mining area of Marikana, South Africa suffer from high levels of pollution, lack access to clean drinking water and have limited recreational spaces. The organization has enabled construction of sports infrastructure with an integrated water capturing and purification system. Alongside this construction they are implementing sports-based environmental skills programs to support the vulnerable community and feed back into their economy.
