Siyathemba: Field of Hope
Architecture for Humanity announced their winner of the Siyathemba design competition which challenged the world's designers to create the "perfect pitch," for the youth of Somkhele, South Africa, who are three times more likely to become HIV positive than youth in other parts of the world. Siyathemba is the Zulu word for "hope." In addition to serving as a gathering place for youth between the ages of 9-14 and health education/training centre, the pitch will also be home to the area's first girls' football league.
