China

Children whose families migrate to inner city areas in search of work often struggle to enter and remain in mainstream education. They also face challenges relating to care and development, nutrition, healthcare and social discrimination.

The Empowerment Through Sport partnership address the issue and promote greater social harmony by using sports to help these children integrate into the wider society.

Through the three year programme, around 17,000 migrant children are expected to benefit from a curriculum covering sports and life skills. In addition, as part of an effort to ensure the project’s sustainability, 850 coaches and teachers will be trained to deliver sports coaching.
