The reasons for choosing this area as the founding base of the AFRIYEA Golf Academy in 2020 were based on calls from various stakeholders who wanted a one-of-a-kind program to unearth the golf gems of young soldiers in the game of golf who can break into the national team and compete at the continental level in four years, provide education opportunities to underprivileged children, life skills, environmental sustainability, and social economic opportunities.
Apart from golf instruction and education, life skills, and environmental awareness are also provided.
The academy’s selection criteria for clubs as annexes were based on conservation programs for adolescents and children in this region. However, the academy has gone much farther to enrich young people with mentorship and coaching programs that can motivate them on their life journey.
