Sporting Chance International has successfully run or assisted the
running of football tournaments for a number of years. These take
place throughout Kenya, from afar afield as Marsabit in the north
and Kitengela, south of Nairobi. We deliver kit and organise a one
day tournament. These often coincide with visits by team members
from the UK. This may be the only competitive football the girls
and boys play. They love to have a simple trophy to play for. They
are so overwhelmed by the kits they receive.
We want to continue
to make these tournaments happen. Young people have a lot of spare
time but nothing to do. This creates a vacuum which can be filled
in various negative ways. The football tournaments are a simple but
very effective way of intervening in the lives of whole communities.
We try to run as many as funds allow, at least two each year.
