A new initiative from Seadog Sport
Working in conjunction with the Cape Town based charity U-Turn Homeless Ministry, Seadog Sport is helping to teach fundamental trade skills to homeless individuals who suffer from substance misuse
Seadog works closely with clients from U-Turn's 1.5 stage who are post rehabilitation and are building on their sobriety. Seadog's Fit For Work program endeavours to aid in key skill development for clients on this scheme, teaching skills such as sewing, labelling and packing products - in return for clients participation, Seadog aquires funding, donations and sponsorships for the charity who provide food, clothing and counselling for clients on the program.
In addition, Seadog tries to provide an environment where people on the program can feel involved on a normal level and just be themselves.
Once a client graduates from this stage, they can continue onto stage 2 of U-Turn's program and become mentors, or use Seadog to provide references for future employment.
