Your trip will be hosted by the respected, local non-profit organization ’Slum Soccer’, which runs soccer programs for the most disadvantaged members of Indian society. It began with soccer leagues for the homeless, many of whom were involved in crime, violence or drugs. The decrease in these harmful activities and the improvement of the participants’ lives inspired Slum Soccer to expand its program to more cities and Slum Soccer now addresses issues like HIV/AIDS infection, personal hygiene and environmental protection. Thanks to your visit, Slum Soccer will be able to achieve goals like; Enrol 20 young people from underserved communities in high school for a year Provide one of our soccer teams with materials, food, water, educational classes and community service projects for a year Provide literacy classes for 25 students for 6 months, including materials, food, and teacher salaries
Economic growth must be inclusive to provide sustainable jobs and promote equality.
