7 Introduction About streetfootballworld & football for good All over the world, community organisations are using football as a force for good. For them, the beautiful game is not just a game. It s how they re changing lives. On the pitch, these organisations teach disadvantaged young people about fair play, inclusion and respect: lessons directly transferable to life in general. Off the pitch, they leverage the universal passion for football to get their participants into social development programmes and keep them there. streetfootballworld has created a global network that unites more than 100 community organisations that use football to address social issues and allows them to learn from one another. We also support these organisations through our programmes, infrastructure, consultancy and events. Our work aims to generate visibility, knowledge and resources for the field of football for good in its entirety, ensuring more young lives are changed through football. Our Impact Social change means different things to different communities: from landmine education in Cambodia to AIDS prevention in South Africa, from tackling homelessness in the UK to integrating refugees in Australia. Regardless of geographic region or social cause, the beautiful game has proved a versatile tool for changing lives. We exist for one reason and one reason only: to harness this power for good. How? We use football as a tool to drive social change in eight key areas: education, employability, social integration, peace building, gender equality, health, youth leadership, environment. streetfootballworld brings global support to these local initiatives. Since 2002, we have hosted close to 30 festivals and forums all over the world, raising awareness of our cause and bringing together the key players from our field. We have also developed more than 60 football pitches, centres and mobile stadiums in previously dangerous areas, ensuring more young people have safe places to play. In addition, our ongoing support and dissemination of football-based development programmes has raised upwards of 25 million for community organisations, while our consulting services have unearthed new investment opportunities for more than 50 public and private partners. But this is just the beginning. Independent estimates suggest the field of football for good could empower as many as fifty million young people every year. It s time to unlock this potential. 13
