In rural Cambodia, children\u2019s rights and voices are often ignored, and extreme poverty forces many to take on adult responsibilities at an early age. Basic knowledge of health, gender equality and other social issues is often missing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our <\/span>sports for social impact<\/b> sessions use the game to change that. Between regular coaching sessions, our coaches run special activities that link sport to everyday life. Children then take these lessons from the playing field into their homes and communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
