Millennium Fellowship Project: Youth Empowerment through Sports
This project aims to empower youth in Chipampha by leveraging sports as a tool for education, mindset change, and holistic development. With a focus on basketball, football, and track, the initiative addresses challenges such as limited sports leadership, lack of facilities, and insufficient mentorship opportunities at local schools.
Through collaboration with the Live Love organization, we seek to establish structured sports programs within primary schools, complete and maintain sports facilities, and train local youth leaders and community members to sustain these efforts. In addition, we will conduct mentorship sessions to instill discipline, teamwork, and a growth mindset among the youth.
The project’s long-term vision is to create a supportive environment where sports contribute to education, personal growth, and community well-being, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive and make a positive impact in their community.
