Gender EqualityContext
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has resulted in significant displacement, with over 7 million internally displaced people (IDPs) as of October 2023, including more than 1 million children. Many children have lost access to sports facilities, disrupting their development.
Project goals
- Support football schools in Ukraine, including de-occupied areas
- Improve access to sports for children, particularly from war-affected regions
- Promote gender equality by ensuring female participation
Project content
The project is a social football support programme aimed to help football and public schools throughout the country (including de-occupied areas) continue their activities and training and to ensure that displaced children can do what they love most – play football.
‘Football Schools Revival’ will provide equipment and resources to 30 football schools to help them resume operations as well as support coaching education, hold football sessions for children, and monitor impact through site visits. The initiative will also include community engagement and awareness campaigns. The project will engage approximately 2,500 children, aged 6-16, with a focus on including 50% internally displaced children.
