Mission:
To improve the lives of children in
the most disadvantaged areas of the world by using the
power of sport and play for development, health and peace.
Healthier,
Happier Children: Well
designed sport and play programs help guide children on a
positive path to healthy development. In addition to the
physical benefits, sport and play programs enhance
holistic development, help foster resilience, and create a
meaningful connection to adults. Sport and play also teach
important values and life skills including leadership,
self-confidence, teamwork, conflict resolution,
discipline, respect and fair play.
Stronger
Communities and Sustained Impact:
Right To Play works closely with
communities to help set up the networks and infrastructure
necessary to support sustainable local ownership of our
sport and play programs. Right To Play also trains local
youth to be coaches to expand the reach of our programs
and to impart valuable leadership skills to the next
generation.
Our Programs: The
focus of our SportWorks program is child and
community development, while our SportHealth
programs leverage the convening and influencing power of
sport to provide health education and encourage healthy
lifestyle behaviours. Specifically, SportHealth teaches
the importance of vaccinations, HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria
prevention. |
