Impact a Community's EducationFootball can improve a community's level of education, leading to improved health, employment, and wellbeing. Sound education is the foundation for sustained economic growth anywhere. According to a FIFA survey, over 240 million people from more than 200 countries regularly play football, and studies show a direct correlation between sport and education levels in these countries. This video shows how giving a football to a school can increase attendance and reduce dropout and delinquency. We've seen these changes with our own eyes - share the same joy by joining in the project! |
