Access to Sport - Environmental protection - Infrastructure and equipment - Personal developmentContext
Tuyên Quang is a mountainous province in the far north of Vietnam, on the border with China. Few spaces are available here for recreation and sport. The area is also heavily affected by natural disasters such as landslides, monsoons and flash floods. As a result, many of the already limited pitches are either in poor condition or regularly washed out or damaged, making it even more difficult for children to access sports.
Project goals
- Provide children with equal and sustainable access to football
- Maximize the power of football to raise awareness of gender rights and foster equitable practices among ethnic minorities groups
- Increase the participation of women and girls in football and life skills education programmes, empower and equip them with leadership skills based on the Football for All in Vietnam model
Project content
- Construct three artificial turf football pitches in three schools
- Organise regular football and life skills activities for children
- Organise nine Fun Football Festivals focused on gender equity and climate change education
- Educate teachers, children and local communities on climate change
- Plant trees for environmental protection
- Carry out feasibility studies and internal assessments, continue to monitor and evaluate results
