Millions of disadvantaged and socially marginalised young people lack the opportunities to realise their full potential and build a better future. Lack of quality education, involvement in conflict and the risk of teenage pregnancy and HIV/AIDS are a reality in their everyday lives. Civil society organizations (CSOs) working in local communities are in the best position to identify and address the socio-economic challenges faced by these young people. However most of these organizations lack the appropriate knowledge and access to networks which would empower them to efficiently implement their solutions in a scalable and sustainable manner.
By supporting the work of its member organizations streetfootballworld facilitates outreach to over 1.5m young people globally every year, helping to reduce socio-economic disparities and overcome the various forms of discrimination through the respective empowerment initiatives.
