We provide 15 hours of educational and wellbeing support each week to 10+ 3-5 year olds in our local town.
Educational activities for 10+ 3-5 year olds, three mornings a week.
To address the huge gaps in environmental knowledge in our local area, we would like to teach environmental education to inspire positive and pro-active climate action from 500 young people and their families. We are currently in the process of looking for a funding partner. Please read our full project plan HERE.
We will ensure safety and wellbeing of all participants on our programmes and ‘not harm’ with an extremely pro-active implementation of our ‘Children First Child Protection Policy’.
With the support of Fifa, we provide eight football sessions a week to 120+ children (60 boys and 60 girls). Through the sessions we empower girls, create a strong sense of belonging and improve the wellbeing of all participants.
We run sixteen hours of Dance clubs each week to strengthen children’s dancing skills, as well as improving self-esteem, confidence and wellbeing. Please click HERE to see our dance groups performing at Carnaval in Santa Marta in February.
