Access to Sport - Employability - Gender Equality - Infrastructure and equipment - Personal developmentContext
The health and community centre in Tongozala, built in April 2019, includes a playground for younger children and a volleyball pitch for older ones. Our next ambition is to construct a multipurpose sports field and provide equipment for popular local sports like football and netball, as well as traditional dances and games, making it possible to organise training sessions, form teams and leagues, and host tournaments and friendly matches.
Project goals
- Physical activity: Increase physical activity among 40,000 participants in 18 months (100,000 over the next three years)
- Young sports leaders: Train at least 25 young leaders in sports-related skills and mentorship (50 in three years)
- Community sports events: Organise four community-wide sports events a year (one every quarter), involving as much of the community as possible, as players and spectators
- Coaching for brilliant athletes: Identify and provide specialised training (mentoring and coaching) to 25 particularly promising young athletes (at least 50 over the next three years)
- Gender-equal participation: Ensure equal participation of girls and boys
Project content
- Renovation of the existing playground and volleyball pitch by levelling the ground, marking boundaries and installing durable goalposts and netball poles, high-quality nets, perimeter fencing, benches for players and spectators, and proper drainage to enable year-round use
- Cost-effective procurement of equipment for football, netball and selected traditional games and dances, including goalposts, nets, balls and kit
- Weekly training sessions led by local coaches for children and adolescents grouped by age and skill level (at least 40% girls and young women), to develop skills, fitness and teamwork
- Four community sports events hosted during the 18-month funding period, including friendly matches, cultural dance performances and traditional competitions to encourage broad community participation, foster social interaction and provide a platform for showcasing local talent
- Simple logs and feedback forms to track attendance at training sessions and events, collect participant feedback, evaluate the programme and make adjustments where necessary to ensure the activities align with the project goals and community needs
