| ONE LOVE |
In the community where we are, we discovered a big challenge of “Early sex among the Girls and Boys due to
Idleness and poverty’’.
According to the Baseline survey we carried in
February 2013 we found out that in this community Sex was taken as a game for
the boys and way to solve the issue of poverty for the girls. According to the
survey rural children start having Sex as early as 11 years for the girls and
boys.
At 13 years the girl is married with children. We formed the academy to address this issue
since Football is a game that unites people and through unity we can speak and
talk to the youth. Football is
the world’s most popular, loved and interesting sport that every person yearns
to play and be part. All over the world, the beautiful game is used to create
sustainable social change in our communities.
As for social impact football is a life changing game which fights
discrimination, improves health, promote gender equality, fight violence and
secure environmental sustainability among others
WHAT INSPIRED US?
The
Idleness, suffering of (Vulnerable Children and Youth), Passion, commitment and
hardworking of the boys and girls we first met and spoke too inspired us a lot
to go ahead and get organized in form of an academy, support from communities,
parents, volunteers and well wishers. The only way we could bring as many youth
and children into scripture unions and abstinence clubs was to have a soccer
academy which most vulnerable children and youth admired and dreamt of.
Speaking without action is a bad. Telling a youth to abstain from SEX
and evil things without solving the problem that forces Him /her into sex is
like writing on water. So the only way we could keep the Boys and girls from
evil thoughts and idleness was to make them busy with soccer and this way was
the only way to bring together the scattered and Hopeless children Together to
improve their soccer Skills.
