Welcome to the Mangochi Youth Sports Academy!

The Mangochi Youth Sports Academy was established in 2008 with the intention of offering quality sports training that incorporates health and life skills education, to the young people of Mangochi District, Malawi.

We would like to thank Pro Direct Soccer who recently donated some footballs.The boys are pictured below with director Lewis Kamundi.This is great news because it allows the boys to continue training and competing in friendly matches.

We believe that the physical, social and emotional development of children can be improved through the power of sport using games that teach fair play, leadership, team work and respect. Issues that affect the lives of children in Malawi such as HIV/AIDS and nutrition can be tackled in a non-threatening way that helps children reach their full potential in sport and life.

Over the last two years we have been able to train 3 football and 3 netball coaches with the wonderful support of the FA, Football Association of Malawi, England Netball and the Netball Associaion of Malawi. These coaches have been putting their training into good use by holding weekly training sessions and holding school tournaments.


Towards the end of 2009, Gilbert sent over 90 netballs to Malawi. This fantastic donation allowed us to give 57 schools in four zones a ball for training as well as keep some for our community coaching. Here are some of the girls

Sports equipment, even balls, are so lacking in Mangochi that the opportunity to take part in sporting activities has already seen an increase in enrolments at local schools. This is fantastic news as the attendance rates for secondary school age children drops dramatically in Malawi. We want this to continue with the introduction of other sports to benefit as many different people as possible.

Our policy is to encourage as many youngsters as possible back into education, and so offering them the opportunity to improve their futures.

Thank you.

NEWS!

2011

New projects have been put on hold at the moment, so that we can concentrate on raising funds to send sports kit and equipment to Malawi. We currently have netball and football kits stored in the UK that the schools and communities in Mangochi would love to receive, but unfortunately, we do not have the money to ship them out.

Any help that you can offer to raise the money would be fantastic. No amount is too small, every little helps. Please contact us if you or your club is able to help with a fundraising event. Individual donations can also be made through our website.

All donations are very gratefully received and we can keep you up to date on our progress if you send us your details. Thank you all so much, please, if you love sport, get involved and help others to enjoy it as well.
