Over 36,000 children in Karachi, Pakistan are now receiving weekly Physical Education lessons as a result of the PE and sport programme – Youth Empowerment Through Sport (YETS) - established by Youth Sport Trust International with support from the Rangoonwala Foundation. Teachers, most of them female, in 114 schools – many in deprived and slum areas - have benefitted from training by Youth Sport Trust International expert trainers to develop their confidence and enthusiasm for teaching Physical Education and sport in schools.
‘I will always remember BIG hands and BIG eyes when catching and fielding. This has helped me and will help my children improve’ reports a teacher after taking part in an initial training course.
Participating schools are also organizing inter school matches in cricket and rounders, providing children of all abilities with the opportunity enjoy positive competition. Advanced training took place in September to upskill a group of 14 practitioners to become national trainers themselves who can now train teachers themselves and support the expansion of the programme.
With your help we can grow this capacity building programme and provide further support to enhance the lives of young people in Pakistan through sport
