The Problem: Around the world, countless children and young people are experiencing the devastating effects of marginalization, exclusion, and lack of support in their communities. Despite their inherent right to be protected from harm, to play, and to learn, they often find themselves unable to access safe spaces and face routine abuse and discrimination. This situation calls for urgent action to address the root causes and provide these children with the opportunities they deserve.

Greater Goals' Solution: Greater Goals CIC has taken up the challenge of transforming the lives of marginalised, excluded, and at-risk children and youth. Their approach revolves around developing game-changing resources and training for coaches, youth workers and local NGOs. By leveraging the power of sport and play, Greater Goals engages these individuals and creates impactful interventions that address their needs. Through a combination of building trusting relationships and delivering informal education, they provide vital resources, advocacy, and opportunities for support and development to each child.

What Greater Goals Does:

Street Sports Programmes:Greater Goals equips and trains street sport youth workers with the necessary resources and skills to provide effective interventions in locations where unsupported children are. By meeting them where they are, Greater Goals ensures that these children receive the support and guidance they desperately need.

Looking Forward: As Greater Goals launches its pilot programme in Kenya, it is dedicated to empowering change. By focusing on building trusting relationships, delivering informal education, and using sport and play as engagement tools, they are on a mission to create a world where no child is left behind. Through their efforts, marginalized, excluded, and at-risk children and youth will have the opportunity to reclaim their rights, access support, and embrace their full potential.
