From the World Stage to Community Impact in Oaxaca

During this reporting period, our Sports with Purpose program continued to create safe and inclusive spaces for children and youth in vulnerable communities in Mexico. In San Mateo del Mar, Oaxaca, where access to recreational and protective environments is limited, sports-based activities play a key role in promoting wellbeing, strengthening social connections, and fostering essential life skills such as teamwork and resilience.

Thanks to the support received through this campaign, we were able to contribute in two concrete ways. First, we provided sports materials for one child, ensuring they have the basic tools needed to actively participate in program activities. Second, we delivered one socio-sportive session reaching 25 children in the community. During this session, participants engaged in guided play designed to promote emotional wellbeing, cooperation, and a sense of belonging in a safe and supportive environment.

While these contributions represent a specific and focused effort, they are part of a broader ongoing process to strengthen community wellbeing through sport. Each session and each child reached contributes to building safer spaces, reinforcing positive relationships, and supporting children in developing the confidence and skills they need to navigate challenging environments.
