IMPACT
/ CHANGE
Children
and youths who are part of these clubs have become great preachers, singers,
dancers, prayer worriers, they have gone ahead to lead prayers and praise in
churches they pray from. The evil characters like stealing, drug use, smoking,
fighting etc have reduced in the communities where these clubs are. The rate of
crime has reduced and it’s rare to find a youth in a prison now, we thank God
Forming abstinence clubs in schools and communities through soccer :
Also
through soccer we have been able to form Four (4) Strong abstinence clubs were
formed in Tanaga primary school, (40 members,) Myeri village (60 members),
Irara primary school (10 members) and Katooke modern Secondary school (10 members).
Through soccer, the Tournaments we
organize and Friendly matches we use this same opportunity to sensitize the
youth to abstain from sex and share, ideas, information about abstinence as the
best way to control the spread of HIV/AIDS. RASYN involved counseling, testing,
guiding and parental love, care and support to the sick.

go though in their homes, at school, what they are not in school and we try to
provide a solution where we can. Through soccer challenges and problem that youth go through have been identified and

| Soccer team under 14. |
We formed 4 academies of under Two (2) of under 17, One (1) of under 14
and One (1) for the Girl under 16. The boys have played over 20 games without
losing any match, the boys have competed in big matches and won 5 trophies,
they have travelled to districts to compete with other schools and soccer
academies and they have won the matches. Football has made our stubborn boys to
calm down because rules punish them if they misbehave in the community and
homes, they miss big matches so they have changed, they support their parents
at home, they don’t move to places without asking for permission from Guardians
and this is the way soccer has instilled morals to once un approachable
children and youth. .
