Our approach considers football as an essential tool to engage the local communities in development activities, and as an innovative vehicle for community and human development. We recognise human development as the development of an individual’s self-confidence, leadership skills, teamwork, and communication, where these skills become a platform to do something more for their lives. This is also linked with improving individual’s employability, and combat unhealthy practices, such as illegal drug use, violence, unsafe sex, and crime.

Using football as an access point creates an ideal opportunity through which the community can look to identify critical issues, collaborate towards collective process, and build the overall capacity of the community.
