HTT Slum Football
HTTA Slum Football Initiative
The use of slum football can have a significant impact on social change and the empowerment of communities. It offers chances for talented individuals to exhibit their abilities and follow their passion for the sport. The initiative known as HTT Slum football has been successful in engaging and uplifting local areas, communities, and streets in Lagos, Nigeria, by utilizing the power of the beautiful game.
Help the Talent Academy is committed to the growth and unity of young and promising talent. Through the provision of football facilities, coaching, and opportunities, we can assist talented individuals in slum areas to showcase their abilities and pursue their aspirations without any form of discrimination based on race, religion, class, or ethnicity.
This program not only teaches football skills but also includes education in valuable life skills like teamwork, leadership, and resilience, which will empower individuals in various aspects of their lives. Furthermore, this concept also connects aspiring football players with mentors and role models who can motivate and provide guidance on their path towards becoming successful athletes. Lastly, by utilizing the HTT Slum Football platform in the streets of Lagos, we can raise awareness about the difficulties faced by slum communities and promote positive change through various events, campaigns, and media efforts.
The HTTA Slum Football Initiative is inspired by the pure joy displayed by a few street kids playing an impromptu game of football in the pouring rain on a muddy field. Their unrestrained excitement and obliviousness to the weather perfectly align with the mission, vision, and mantra of the HTT Academy, which focuses on discovery, development, and deployment.
What is the plan of action for HTTA?
HTTA plans to team up with local organizations, community leaders, and enthusiastic individuals who have a similar vision as HTT. Through the provision of football equipment, the organization will organize matches and tournaments, ultimately creating an inclusive and supportive atmosphere for talented and ambitious football players from different slums in Lagos, using the power of football.
