What We Do

Mine Risk Education

We work with local partners to identify local leaders who are interested in being part of Spirit of Soccer
Through in-depth workshops, we train these leaders as coaches and MRE specialists
The best coaches are employed by Spirit of Soccer to deliver sessions; the others are provided with skills and referrals to attain other employment
Spirit of Soccer coaches are continuously provided with coaching training, opportunities for official accreditation and pathways to other employment

Our coaches then identify the most at-risk regions in their area to engage young people through schools and refugee camps
The young people are given football skills sessions, where girls and boys play together, and are then given mine risk education through interactive and engaging techniques by our skilled coaches
The young people are also given educational tools such as posters and notebooks which they can pass on to friends and family.

Throughout the year, Spirit of Soccer holds region-wide football festivals, which are taster sessions for young people throughout the area to receive MRE and to be able to play football in a safe environment
Participants from sessions taken places throughout the year attend
Participants receive educational materials that they can share with their local community

Through international transferable coaching qualifications and training up local leaders
