An inspiring initiative is taking place in Katutura, Windhoek as underprivileged youth are given a chance to transform their lives through the Basketball Artist School foundation.

The nbc Sport Desks Daywis Thimoteus spoke to Pedro Pasile BAS Coordinator for more details.

The Star for Life organisation engaged Ella du Plessis High School girls on the importance of entrepreneurial skills.

The Star for Life was established in 2009 to reduce the risks of violence and sexual exploitation for girls as well as prepare them to be independent. 

Life skills teacher Pedro Kapirika says society has been so focused on uplifting the girl child that the boy child is left feeling neglected.

The teacher from Jacob Marengo visited Rundu in an effort to uplift some boys.

There was a time when the focus was solely on men.
