Meet the incredible Go for Goals Court Crew!!

These guys have been pouring their sweat into every inch of the G4G court!

Our G4G youth have been absolutely crushing the construction!💪

Lead by Mandingo, Ally and their crew, our boys have stepped up and shown just how far we can go when we go together!! They are so excited, not only to have the court, but to be part of the creation - part of the legacy!

We are getting close to completing half the court but we would absolutely love to bring it all the way to completion!

Our goal is to raise $10,000 Canadian (6200 euros/7250usd) to make the full court a reality!

If you can help, pleae consider donating! Every dollar brings us inches closer to completion!
💙💛💚

Go for Goals Sports Cente - GO!'s youth sport and education project in Tanzania needs your help!

We have undertaken the enormous task of constructing a full-sized team handball court! It will be a huge benefit for the youth and the community of Mlamleni - but we need your help to complete it!

Unfortunately, the costs have far exceeded the original projection! With some help form our friends, we know we can make this dream a reality!

In this season of giving, please consider giving us a like, a share and if you can, please considering donating to our court fund!

Every donation gets a personal thank you video direct from the Go for Goals youth who are incredibly grateful for all the support 🫶

We are so excited to have officially begun construction on Go for Goals Sport Centre's OFFICIAL-SIZE TEAM HANDBALL COURT!!!!! In case you didn't know, a Team Handball court is 20m x 40m!! It's no joke!!!

The court will provide an incredible opportunity for the Go for Goals youth to train in handball as well as volleyball and basketball! The court is the first of its kind in the province of Pwani and one of very few official-sized handball courts in all of Tanzania! It will also provide a place for community members - young and old - to play and stay active!

We are so thankful for everyone who participated in the GO Dodgeball tournament as you all helped us raised a large portion of the funds we need to build the court!! We are very close to our target but are still working on raising a bit more money to bring the court to completion!!

Stay tuned for more progress pictures!!!!!

It's been a whirlwind of activities since arriving in Tanzania, hence the updates have been lacking. The joy of a 10 hour bus ride is that there is plenty of time to get stuff done!

Update #1:
GO! for Girls - Sports and Education Workshop
On Oct. 29, GO for Goals hosted the inaugural GO for Girls workshop! The workshop saw 16 Grade 7 girls come together at the beach for 4 days to participate in a variety of sessions including:
⚽ Team Handball training
📝 English activities
🎲 Math games
👯‍♀️Team building activities
❤️ Menstrual health
🟢 Dodgeball games

Unfortunately, the national elections and the ensuing riots and protests cut our workshop short. We were able to have a ton of fun for 2 days and engage the girls in some meaningful activities and important conversations to help prepare them for secondary school, which will be starting in January!

We were thrilled to have Canadian guests join us for the training - .martinson Darla McFarlane and Vern Taylor!

We look forward to making the workshop an annual event to help give some young female athletes a boost and help keep them on the path to success!
