Developing Our Youth Sports Outreach Program
Status: 
Step:

In the Khama village, there are a large number of youth who have never attended school. These youths have a talent for sports and games, especially football. We have established the VH-LAHA Football Club as a means to reach out to these youth.

Perhaps a basketball coach might be of better use, instead of acquiring canned stuff.

BRAINSTORMING: Promoting Health Education via a Sports Program
Status:
Time needed:
Two weeks or more
Step:
1
Arrow Web Hospital is currently considering adding a sports program to target youth ages 11-35 (Bramuel tells me all in this age group are considered youth in Kenya) in the local community. The goal of this program would be to use it as a means to promote health education, mainly around the topic of HIV/AIDS awareness, but also have more obvious benefits such as promoting teamwork and providing an opportunity for exercise.

During my chat with Norasco today, I asked him to tell me more about this particular project. One of the things they are hoping to achieve via the VH-LAHA Football Club is to develop the skills of the youth to the point they can earn a living by playing football. We talked about the important role that sports clubs can play in terms of outreach efforts, but I did express concern to Norasco that the goal of employment via playing sports is not something readily achievable by all.
