Mass Participation Programme in Ghana

The Mass Participation Programme aims to provide sporting opportunities to as many young people as possible. By providing varied sports activities and encouraging participation across all communities and from both genders we strive to reach as many children as we can through this programme.

To make this programme possible we rely on the efforts of hardworking, enthusiastic volunteers to help coach and organise sports activities. Although volunteer sports coaches require a good grounding in the sport they want to coach, you do not need be a qualified or vastly experienced coach. To find out how to volunteer with United Through Sport in Ghana, please refer to the International Volunteer Project in Ghana section.

The MPP uses well known sports like Football (Soccer), Rugby, Cricket, Netball, Hockey, Basketball, and others to facilitate the "first step" of connecting with disadvantaged or vulnerable children and bringing together communities. Our first objective is to improve the lives of those children by using sport as a means to improve self-confidence, increase self-esteem as well as teaching important values such as team work, dedication, camaraderie and self-respect.

Our wider objective is to support children in matters of education and healthcare ranging from fun and interactive information sessions during training to financial support from our Sponsor a Child Project and educational support with our After School Project.

By offering a combination of sport, educational and financial support we can make a huge difference to thousands of lives of young underprivileged children living in Ghana. Not only can we empower children through sporting achievement, we can also help lay foundations for a brighter future.

We work with over 2,000 children in the Teshie and La Township, a suburb of Accra providing fun and education through sport coaching and providing valuable life skill lessons.
