Gary Kirsten's Catch Trust: Empowering Township Youth Through Cricket

Former cricketer and coach Gary Kirsten is transforming young lives through the Catch Trust, a nonprofit he founded in 2014. Rather than taking promising players to elite institutions, the organization brings top-tier cricket facilities into underserved communities. One of its success stories is 19-year-old Sinelethu Yaso, who now represents the Western Province senior team. The program boasts over 400 youth participants, supported by 18 coaches, and is a beacon of hope and opportunity in the township.
