Polio Plus is such a project, carried out in partnership with the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, which is focussed on eradicating Polio from the world.
Youth Leadership Training: This annual 3 day training camp for grade 11 pupils with leadership potential who are drawn from some 20 schools and a diverse socioeconomic spectrum, is fully funded by the club at the cost of some R80,000/annum.
