More about Society Empowerment Project
SEP aims to use football to mobilize, engage, and educate youth on life skills related in nature to conflict resolution. Football is the channel used by SEP to deliver key messages to the youths in our community. Through the power of “developmental football,” SEP’s specially trained coaches provide not only fun, but important life skills to develop the next generation of community leaders and peace keepers. Sport as is used by SEP provides a universal platform that includes people from different back grounds and ages. SEP this uses this opportunity to deliver key massages on conflict resolution through well packaged massages. Lack of effective provision of information and developed communication networks in the conflict resolution approach is the primary cause of negative youth influence.
Politicians do influence the youth into violent activities against their opponents. Unemployment and lack of meaningful leisure /social activities among the youth are some of the underlying and root causes of these scenarios. Conflict Resolution if not addressed, creates a lot of tension among communities which further leads to high levels of poverty as a result of low or lack of production. A community wallowing in war has no time for economic development
