Partner Update: Senegal

April 4, 2024 in News | Tags: , , , | 1 comment

One of our goals is to invest in local coaches here in Senegal and over
the last few years we have built up a network of around 50 coaches. Our
trainings include practical coaching topics as well as things like first aid
and refereeing. In March we look forward to our 2nd referee training and
have a friend coming who co-ordinates referee training for the
Irish Football Association. We plan to run another 1st aid course later in
the year as well as trainings on tactics and leadership.

Ball Project is thankful for our partners working to build community, train coaches & help children play.

Partner Update: Mauritius

January 2023 Ball Project gave a grant to Groundswell Aid for 8 soft top beginner surfboards for their partner Hope House in Mauritius. About 12 months later the surfboards arrived. Here is their fun update:


These boards took very long to get to Mauritius, but everything is coming together and at a wonderful time.
  Today we started our new sessions on the beach with the Mauritian Sports Association. They have about 1,000 teenagers in an education and mentorship program and we are doing water sports sessions with the groups. We had 26 teens today for 2 hours this morning. Pretty exhausting, but so lovely to have access to the youth of Mauritius. 

They also shared that the funding came at a perfect time for the sports equipment needed as they are expanding their program!

Ball Project is thankful for our partners working faithfully around their neighborhoods & around the world to help children play.
