The Football for development programme reaches out to children and youth between 7 to 16 years. Oscar Football Programme is at the heart of our intervention in low-income communities. Based on ‘No School, No Football’, OSCAR provides football and life skills sessions to children from low-income backgrounds as long as they attend school regularly. Through our coaches and a network of OSCAR Young Leaders, Oscar reach out to 24 low-income communities across 4 cities. Weekly football sessions help our children develop their football skills and enable our trainers to teach key life skills including leadership, problem-solving and teamwork whilst raising awareness on pertinent social issues including child marriage, health and hygiene practices and gender discrimination.

Objectives of Programme
• Ensuring children stay in school by using football as a motivator
• Impart football skills and deliver life skills modules through football sessions
• Engaging community through parents meetings and home visits
• Providing platforms where children can boost their confidence through various activities such as tournaments, annual events, exposure visits.
