When we recently won the 2019 Beyond Sport for Health and Wellbeing award, we were asked to what we attribute our success. I responded that we “keep going”. It may sound like a cliché. But staying motivated and dedicated is how we have improved the lives of thousands of kids since our inception.

We are working on complex community development issues in remote marginalized communities and we provide a safe space for kids to come together to learn, play and grow.

Soccer is the most beloved sport in Haiti. We are sharing the love of the game with kids who are cutoff from any other programs due to the remote nature of their villages. Soccer is the tool through which we teach valuable life lessons and leadership skills such as conflict resolution, inclusion, problem solving, child protection and gender equality.

We focus on the immediate health and education needs of the kids in our programs while striving for long term change through leadership development and fostering their talents.

“GOALS helps those that do not have the means to go to school. It motivates us to have an objective. Everyone is looking for a better path in life and we now have the opportunity to go after what we want.” – Isera, 18, Destra Team Captain.

There has been troubling news out of Haiti due to political unrest and a severe gas shortage that has crippled the nation. We are fortunate that our programs are still running daily. We provide a much-needed positive outlet for Isera and her fellow teammates throughout the three communities that we serve.

You can help to change the path of Isera’s life by providing access to sport and education that otherwise would be missing from her life. We need your help now more than ever to keep our programs running.

By making a gift you are providing hope and inspiration to keep going. We currently need to raise 20K in team sponsorship funds by the end of the year. Through a generous opportunity we can match each gift dollar to dollar for any gifts given between now and December 28th. And this makes your gift go even farther. Gifts may be made online through our website or by check.

From all of us at Team GOALS we appreciate your continued support!
