Beyond the playground: Supporting young athletes

The dedication of NESTLÉ® MILO® to South African sports extends far beyond the playground. We are proud supporters of young athletes, providing them with the resources and platforms they need to excel both on and off the field.

Through our recent initiatives, we are actively investing in the future of South African learners by championing their potential.

Fuelling champions with #MUSTBEMILO 

At the heart of our commitment to South African youth is the inspiring #MUSTBEMILO campaign platform. This platform focuses on teaching learners the skills they’ll need to be champions on and off the sports field. By encouraging kids to participate in sports activities, Milo ensures they develop teamwork, discipline, resilience, communication, determination, and perseverance – qualities that are necessary for success in life.

The campaign showcases the dedication, perseverance and commitment of young athletes. By documenting their stories, #MUSTBEMILO aims to inspire other young South Africans to pursue their passions and unlock their full potential through the malt energy to go further promise.

Nurturing future talents 

These visits involve interactive sports clinics led by experienced biokinetics experts. These platforms provide learners with the opportunity to learn new skills, improve their fitness and experience the joy of teamwork while experiencing the taste of 6 vitamins and three minerals with every glass of every NESTLÉ® MILO® they drink.
