Strikers for Peace – reducing violence and discrimination in the Mangueirinha Favela through sport (360G-CR-1581234)

Funding Organization
£176,099

Children and young people living in the Mangueirinha favela of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, are regularly exposed to violence and drugs, and have poor access to health, quality education, work and training. This project will offer them regular sport and education activities, cultural outings and sports tournaments. It will support and educate families to protect their children and promote alternative forms of conflict resolution in the home and community. As a result, children will demonstrate less violent and discriminatory behaviour and reduced dependency on drugs, their attendance and performance in school will improve, and previously insecure areas of the community will be safer.
