Langa is one of the smallest townships in the city. Ten years ago, it was home to 50,000 people, but like many townships, it has grown rapidly as job opportunities in the city draw workers and families from the surrounding countryside. There are now about 80,000 people in Langa and the township is struggling to cope.

Project Playground works to reinforce their personal and social development through support programmes and organized activity, thereby contributing to a sustainable future.
