Soccer Program
Soccer, more commonly referred to as football in Sierra Leone, is an integral component of Sierra Leone's culture. Soccer unites people across different tribes and backgrounds as they share a common interest in the sport. In Sierra Leone, soccer is predominantly played by young boys and men. Looking Back Moving Forward is not only dedicated to promoting soccer tournaments among men but also among women. Since women are often discouraged from playing sports in this part of the world, this program will be many young girls first opportunity to play the sport. By giving young men and women the opportunity to play soccer, it will bring different tribes together and give the youth something positive to look forward to instead of getting involved in potentially dangerous activities in the community.
