About The Project

 

Community Street Football/Netball strives to leverage sport to help children and youth who have fallen through the gaps within society, and have either dropped out of school or have become involved with gang-related activities.

The programme encourages participants to join street football events where social development life-skills are taught through the art of sport.

Involving people from different cultures and backgrounds, the aim of the initiative is to prevent youth from engaging in violent and criminal activities by supporting their reintegration into society and empowering them to lead positive and self-sufficient lives.

Oasis further uplifts young people by instilling them with values inherent to sports, such as team spirit, fair play, respect, and conflict management.
