How We Work
In Six Steps
STEP 1
An At-Risk Kid
Our programs start because of a real need. There are so many kids that are at-risk in Rwanda. Whether because they are orphans, parents are in prison, they are on the streets, they are out of school, they are impoverished, or they just are growing up in a tough place – there are countless youth who need love.
STEP 2
Invitation To Join a Team
Here is the thing. Kids love sports! We create sports teams near where at-risk kids live. Our Rwandan coaches, who are already from that area, invite kids to join their team. We provide a great environment for kids to improve their skills in twice per week trainings and play in matches.
STEP 3
Community Forms
Our sports teams become families. Places where at-risk kids can share their problems and find out that they are not alone in their struggles. Resources begin to be shared within the team community and kids begin to take care of one another.
STEP 4
Discipleship
Athletes experience the love of Christ and learn what it means to be poured into and then what it means to pour into others. Our hope is to grow compassion, grace, and mercy in communities to see transformation from within.
STEP 5
Education
Athletes discover their value in their community. Through this, they are able to discover their talents and begin to pursue their education. Education can include traditional education, entrepreneurship training, or vocational education.
STEP 6
Future
Children that once thought they had no future, now have a future. We see whole human beings transformed spiritually, economically, and psychologically ready to impact their world.
