The VUSA Rugby & Learning Academy provides educational and sporting opportunities to young children in the Langa community. Not only is this helping them to build their confidence and physical ability, but it’s also teaching them important lessons that can be applied to their lives. By giving these children access to meals, academic support, rugby (and all the discipline and life skills that come with that) and access to new recreational activities, they can develop the passion, skills, knowledge and motivation to become successful adults.

The VUSA programme’s primary goal is to provide a hub of excellence in Langa to ensure that the challenges that the children in Langa are faced with, are addressed early on in the child's life; creating opportunities and a safe space for children to learn, play and grow.

Vusa’s Vision

Our vision is a South Africa where a child’s financial circumstance does not determine access to excellence. A place where all children have access to quality educational, sporting, and cultural opportunities. A society where every child has a safe space to grow, never goes to bed hungry and has access to adults who guide and protect them to become socially aware, financially secure, and active South African citizens.

Vusa’s Mission

Our mission is to offer support and mentorship to children in the Langa community through structured academic, sports, feeding, and extramural programs. We aim to provide them with the skills and opportunities necessary to enhance their lives and futures.
