More about Sport Builds Bridges
Our project uses sport to transfer pedagogical messages. The children are able to learn social values and competencies in a playful and fun way. The goal of the project «Ethiopia – Sport Builds Bridges» is to reintegrate street children into their families and public school in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Sport pedagogy is used to foster the personal development of the children. But to children, sport does a lot more than that. For many of the participating children, the initial motivation to join our program is the opportunity to participate in sports activities.
While football is most children's absolute favourite, others enjoy the different games that are played throughout the day. Shortly, after they joined our programme, behavioural changes are visible. Since street children are completely neglected by society and their family, our organisation is dedicated to bring change to the children's lifes through sport.
