Crime

SAF being the grass root level organisation and provide front line services for youths of African origin and others to understands the issues, constrains and factors that affect young people to positively engage in the wider society and contribute to the social and economic infrastructure. The organisation takes measures to tackle the issues it identifies and develop strategies to deal with such issues.

SAF understands through research, statistics, feedback and through partnership that, there is a greater need for reducing crime that is been committed by young people.
