Project Report | Mar 16, 2023
Construction Complete

By Esther Sampson | External Relations Manager

Thank you for your contributions to building the multipurpose court. We successfully finished the construction of the field at the end of November 2022.  We held our first sport for development activities on the field in December. The children really enjoyed the new space and were excited to have the opportunity to play with each other on the field. We focused on providing valuable life skills through sports and providing the children with a safe and supportive space. The sport for development activities have been taking place regularly on the field since the start of December. 

 

Not only has the construction of the field allowed us to reach more participants, it has also allowed us to increase our income to support the costs of running the project. Since opening the second field, we have had an increase in income due to now having two fully operating fields at the same time. This has allowed us to employ two more previously unemployed youth at the facility, bringing the total number of employed youth to 8. As the turf continues to increase its activity we hope to create a further two employment positions creating income for a total of 10 previously unemployed youth. 

 

We are looking forward to holding hockey development training and matches for children from the communities to supplement the football activities that have been taking place on the first turf. This will broaden our reach and make a positive impact on the communities where we work.
