The Norman Bird Sanctuary was established in 1949 at the bequest of Mabel Norman Cerio. Its mission, under the charge of her will, was to maintain 235 acres of land for the propagation, preservation, and protection of birds, and where birds and bird life may be observed, studied, taught, and enjoyed by lovers of nature and by the public generally so interested in a spirit of humanity and mercy. Over the years, NBS has grown to include more than 325 acres of diverse habitats, and its mission remains true to Mabel Norman Cerio's original vision. Today, the mission of the Norman Bird Sanctuary is to preserve and protect its habitats and resources for the benefit of birds and other wildlife, and for people's education and enjoyment.

We believe in the value that sport serves to develop the social, mental, physical and intellectual dimensions of the individual; and by extension enable the individual not only to develop self but to contribute positively towards national and international development. Our vision is to inspire, empower and capacitate individuals, communities, government and private sector partners to develop 'sporting networks and pathways' that create sustainable integrated sport development and sport for change models. We provide (implement) solutions to sustainable, responsible and integrated sport development and sport for change models from the Cradle to the Podium - Early Childhood Development (ECD), School Physical Education and Sport, Education, Community Sport and Development, Youth Leadership, Coach and Teacher Development and Talent Identification. We also support government departments (international, national, provincial and local), NGO's, CSR initiatives, that believe in the value of sport, or the value in using sport as a vehicle for change. Any funded programme conceptualised or implemented by Sportstec at district, provincial or national level will serve as an official institutionalised programme of the Department of Basic Education. We have worked in all provinces within the country and have successfully implemented programmes for corporates and funders such as UNICEF and the MrPrice Foundation. Further beneficiaries of Sportstec Foundation Trust, are members of a rural community in the KwaZulu Natal Province called Geluksburg . In order to improve the living conditions for children and youth in this rural area the objective of our programme is to create Rural Community Sport Networks (RCSN). The focus of the RCSN zones is on the opportunity for the youth in rural communities to participate in sport, physical activity and personal development through life skill messaging, thereby giving them an alternative to social ills and risky behaviour and developing a sense of purpose for their future. The programme includes a holistic approach to development and is aligned to Government objectives for rural development, youth development, education, social development, as well as health and sport and recreation.
