Each of their programmes are made up of a number of projects that contribute to their effective functioning.
We are committed to using sport as a tool to develop the disadvantaged and vulnerable youth.

You will create a great relationship with the children. In their eyes, you are the one who gives them an opportunity for their future.
And it looks good on your CV as well.
