Background
GOALS uses soccer to engage youth in Haiti in community work and education that will improve their quality of life and develop new leadership.
From the Founder
Every day at our sites in Léogane, Haiti, we have hundreds of happy, healthy kids excelling as leaders on the soccer field, in the classroom, and in their communities. They debate what leadership means to them, their communities’ biggest needs, and the importance of gender equality. They scarf down big, hot plates of food and wear crisp soccer uniforms with an enormous amount of pride.
Haiti is one of the hardest places in the world to grow up. In a country where secondary school enrolment is just 19% and most families eke out a living on just $2USD a day, our players have big dreams of completing school, building careers, and helping others.
