Empowering Students Through Sports and Life Skills
The Sports for Learning project integrates structured physical activity into school environments to promote holistic development among children and adolescents. By using sports as a dynamic entry point, the project teaches life skills, sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), and emotional wellbeing in a fun, inclusive, and culturally relevant way.
The program fosters teamwork, discipline, confidence, and respect, while also improving physical health and reducing absenteeism. Sports sessions are gender-sensitive and disability-inclusive, ensuring all learners, especially girls and children with disabilities, can participate safely and meaningfully.
Beyond physical activity, the project incorporates SRHR messaging, anti-bullying campaigns, and peer-led discussions on body autonomy, mental health, and gender equality. Teachers and coaches are trained to use sports as a tool for empowerment and social change.
