IMAD -- music and arts development for disadvantaged communities

Music is an outlet for youthful creativity, stimulates and enhances communication, builds personal discipline and leadership, develops important life skills, fosters concentration & commitment, can help your child take responsibility, is all empowering and, most importantly: In the absence of music development opportunities at most Cape Flats schools, IMAD is able to help fill this gap by providing training to Cape Flats youth within its catchment areas. IMAD assists youth in focussing their energies in life-enhancing ways. It is IMAD's desire to provide disadvantaged youth in its care with the skills, information and opportunities to be able to function as able musicians, by providing a platform for artistic expression, broadening their life's horizon and raising their prospects for attaining success in other areas of their lives.
