About the organization

GOALS Haiti empowers girls and boys in rural areas to drive positive social change in their communities. It does this through a holistic approach focusing on literacy, mental health, hygiene, social education, and self-confidence to create a community where everyone can thrive. Through football, the organization promotes gender equality, conflict resolution, and gender-based violence awareness and prevention. It develops young people as leaders on and off the pitch. Along with playing on a team, participants engage in community service projects such as planting trees and recycling initiatives and attend health lessons on topics like disease prevention, hygiene, and sex education. GOALS Haiti ensures girls and boys can access opportunities by helping them on their education path through literacy classes, tutoring lessons, and scholarships reaching children and youth who otherwise might be left behind.
