EduSport

A field run by a peer coach

It is a pilot project in Zambia which utilizes sports teams as business entities as well as the market place for local communities.  Through this project, team members  sell their produce for cash or credit to members of the association. This creates a good market for their produce. The members have access to soft loans provided by the team members who are small bankers.

Why POWER Sport?

With the realisation of how people have been denied an opportunity to have a better standard of living, due to economical hardships, EduSport foundation  designed this as a deliberate program  to give vulnerable people  hope and an opportunity to have a better  living standard.

On the other hand, POWER Sport is a tool intended to supplement the government efforts to alleviate poverty, especially in sub urban and rural areas.
