About this project
Through handball, we are able to give young people the opportunity to experience joy, team spirit and healthy competition. We reinforce their self-esteem through positive experiences, generate enthusiasm and impart valuable life skills such as responsibility. We want to contribute to a world in which young people have the competence & skills to shape a positive and peaceful future for themselves and others.
We work directly in the disadvantaged target communities through local cooperation. Handball is the tool to create learning experiences around valuable life skills and important socio-political topics such as environmental conservation, social cohesion, (gender) equity, inclusion, as well as health. We build capacity on grassroots level, and support our local partners with knowledge, equipment and volunteers.
Give positive experiences & belonging
