The table below will show you exactly what we need and how you can contribute by choosing your own item to donate money for. The higher the items are up in the list, the more urgently needed they are for the centre.

Goal of the Sport and Community Centre
The centre aims to provide a place for our children and those from the local community to come together, participate in sport and interact socially. Something we feel is extremely important as it acts as a focal point for the community to bond, have a place to call their own and be proud of.

The organized activities will help the children, as well as the local community, to develop numerous skills. To discover and nurture talents that in many cases haven’t had the chance to   emerge as a result of difficult backgrounds.    

By learning to play and cooperate together we want to offer  the possibility to strengthen and  stimulate the mind and body. In doing this, those participating will increase their self-esteem and self confidence, thus realizing their true potential, being able to make and independently reach personal life targets and goals.

Why a Sport and Community Centre?
  • The nearest sport facilities can only be found in the nearest town which takes 35 minutes by car to reach and most people do not have cars.
  • At this point there is very little ‘sense of community’ mainly due to the fact that there are no facilities available for people to come together.
  • After 18:00 o’clock, which is the time that most people stop working, it gets dark which makes any kind of social activities outside  impossible.
  • During the rainy period the soil turns into mud making any form of outside  activity impossible and in the dry season it is often too hot partake in activities outside without any shade.
  • At the moment soccer is the only sport played and many of those not wishing to participate in this sport are left without other activities to partake in. Having more options will allow everyone to find an activity which motivates them personally.
  • By participating in sport people learn to work in teams, thus developing social skills and especially in children participating in sport helps to develop important motor skills.
  • The Sport and Community Center will be a place for the community to be proud of, a place where people come together to interact socially.
