Support Children's Leadership & Cultural Programs

Summary

When children are active, they reap the benefits of physical exercise, develop advanced motor skills, and find relief from stress and anxiety. With the support of our donors, JustWorld International has allowed children to express their creativity and discover their passions in many different ways. Whether through access to organized sport, music, dance, or art, children are discovering their talents while we continue to provide them with the necessary materials to foster their inspiration.

What is the issue, problem, or challenge?

Many of the children we support do not have access to organized sport and play, or cultural fun. Both spontaneous and organized activity is an important component of healthy development. When children are active, they reap the benefits of physical exercise, develop advanced motor skills, and find relief from stress and anxiety.

Potential Long Term Impact

Children who are able to learn skills such as teamwork, painting, media, dance, etc... can apply them to group activities, keeping them off the streets after school. The streets harbour many negative temptations for young children. Further, participating in these activities develop leadership, confidence and self esteem for children and youth.

Project Message
