Connecting youth through sport

Sport is more than just a way for youth to stay healthy and have fun – it is a powerful tool for social change and cultural insight. Best of all, it is accessible to most young people.

Our sport programmes create networks that connect young people with their counterparts from around the world teaching tolerance and leaderships skills.

Sport reaches more people than many other traditional tools used to create dialogue and connect people – especially in Africa where 50% of young people in Sub-Saharan Africa are under 15 years of age.
