What We Do
Africa Change International, herein referred to as ACI, is a non-governmental organization that aims at equipping children, particularly those living in the midst of poverty, disease and conflict, with skills in sports and also enhances the ICT literacy and education of underprivileged youth. ACI is a legally registered NGO under the Republic of Ghana with the company code G-25, 798.
Sport is one of the fastest growing economies in Africa. It can be a significant socio-economic force by providing livelihoods and contributing to development. It also has a likely attraction for volunteerism. Its training requires players to attend school, especially those who wish to play the sport professionally. It can give the street child an opportunity to develop self competence and esteem. This is will make them spend less time in sedentary pursuits such as violence, crime and other social vices
At Africa Change International, it is our belief that holistic training is necessary for children to succeed. For example, sports will help them get scholarship into higher education, but they will also need to know how to use computers to be successful in higher education.
