Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than government in breaking down racial barriers.
Children need hope
- They need self-esteem and they need to have fun.
- Children need inspiration and they need to be healthy.
- Children need to get off the streets, out of bad habits and into sports.
- Most of our children have no sports kit. Let’s change that.
The importance of sport in a child's development
Sports play a crucial role in children's holistic development. Physically, they enhance motor skills, coordination, strength, and cardiovascular health while establishing lifelong fitness habits. Socially, team sports teach cooperation, communication, and leadership skills through shared goals and group dynamics. Emotionally, children learn resilience by handling wins and losses, building self-confidence through skill mastery and personal achievements. Sports also develop mental discipline, strategic thinking, and time management as children balance training with academics. The structured environment teaches respect for rules and authority while fostering friendships across diverse backgrounds. Regular participation reduces stress, improves mood, and provides healthy outlets for energy, contributing significantly to balanced childhood development and character formation.
We provide sports kit, equipment and coaching to children who need it.
We provide sports kit and equipment to children who need it. We do this by raising funds and buying kit, or by collecting second-hand kit, and distributing it to schools, clubs and individuals who need it the most and who will use it properly.
The idea is for you to enjoy making a difference and changing lives. Welcome to our world. The key is that this is a sustainable, community-based programme – together with the recipient School Staff and Community members we facilitate the kit provision, youth coaching and coach training in a manner in which the project is ongoing and of benefit to the recipient school as well as the school’s community.
