Project Peace Latin America intention is to change the fate of the most vulnerable young people in the region. Using sport as a tool to convey human values, we undertook the task of promoting the development of noble personalities in youth. Our goal is to inspire them to realize their dreams, give them the tools to build a bright future and overcome their circumstances.
Join us and help to transform young children in the region as agents of peace, one goal at a time.
Our project:
A Goal for Peace is a program of human development and sports education for children and young people living in communities affected by violence, crime and poverty.
A Goal for Peace uses soccer as a tool to promote and sow values as respect, tolerance, leadership, discipline, honesty, teamwork, accountability and gender equality.
