Residents of Khayelitsha watch on December 5, 2009 the official opening ceremony of the FIFA Football for Hope center in Khayelitsha Cape Town's largest township. The centre, which is the first of 20 community centres, will help to tackle HIV/AIDS and some of the biggest issues facing young people across the African continent. The centre in Khayelitsha has been built in an area once notorious for crime and violence as part of an initiative to breathe new life into the community. It provides rooms for public health services and informal education, office space, common space for community gatherings and a football turf pitch.
