Peace

In commemoration of the first modern olympic games which took place from 6 to 15 April 1896 in Athens, the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace was proclaimed by the UN in 2013 to celebrate sport as a tool for driving social change, development and peace initiatives around the world. In this spirit, the LSDI employs some peace-building frameworks to harmonize young people from diverse backgrounds, including those from disadvantaged communities, with a view to giving them support, experience and life skills necessary for peaceable and productive living.

Our Strategy

 We provide support to initiatives that leverage the power of sport, particularly Loofball to bring about social cohesion, integration and lasting peace.

 We conduct seminars to sensitize youth on the values embedded in sports and how to use sport initiatives to promote and strengthen sustainable peace.

 We also work with trainers and coaches to teach young players the philosophy of Loofball and to cultivate in them values that prevent domestic and gender-based violence.
