Join the “Gear Up for Safety” Journey
Help us raise funds to upgrade safety gear to maintain and enhance the safety of our activities.
These challenging outdoor programmes takes young people out of their comfort zones to help grow an understanding of their personal abilities, a stronger sense of community responsibility and a compassion for others and the environment.
We run Team Building Camps for sports teams, entire grades in a particular school, even for groups of teachers or corporate clients.
These courses are designed to empower victims and create better members of our society.
Ambitious and determined 14 year old Dani, raised funds for 24 youth in need, to send them on an Outward bound experience, that changed to course of their lives forever. Thank you to Dani and all the donors that made this possible.
Outward Bound South Africa has recognized that the rates of gender-based violence have reached crisis proportions. There are not many programmes in South Africa that deal with young people and how they can play a role in preventing GBV from happening to them or to prevent them from becoming perpetrators of GBV in the future.
Our programmes will educate young people and help prevent GBV. Core to Outward Bound’s educational approach is creating an environment which challenges limiting and destructive belief systems. The programme is a transformative 5-day intervention that embodies experiential learning opportunities that educate and encourage growth and empowers girls and boys to become responsible and tolerant citizens who embrace differences.
The goal of this project is to provide tools and strategies to the youth to prevent and reduce gender-based violence to achieve violence-free communities.
Focusing on vulnerable youth aged 13-18, susceptible to violence, we acknowledge their powerful role in shaping positive attitudes among peers. To unlock this potential, we equip them, guided by the principle: ‘If you know better, you do better.'”

Thanks to the First Accent team and every single person who donated towards our Birthday tent campaign. We were able to purchase 50 brand new tents to keep our participants safe and warm. You have helped equip our youth with the tools they need to be truly unstoppable.
Giving is not just about making a donation. It is about making a difference.
“At Outward Bound I have learnt lots of things e.g. overcoming my fears and learning how to work in a group and to help others instead of being negative.”
