SSF is committed to using evidence-based solutions in sports for development programmes and building systems and processes that have a lasting impact.
To help tackle burgeoning crime and violence among youth, SSF has organised and lobbied on significantly reducing the practice of physical violence as an accepted form of punishment for children. SSF’s long standing collaboration with the Ministry of Education, has garnered our increased presence working within schools under our “Beyond the Bell” afterschool programme initiative focusing on academic enrichment, sports, life skills and conflict resolution.
Youth unemployment in the region is among the highest in the world. SSF youth mentors are drawn from this unemployed pool and where possible we seek to employee people that are out of work.
