Two thirds of Haitians live below the poverty line, and many children’s lives are compromised by poor health care and education. The UN affirms that sport can contribute to peace and sustainable development, and research shows that it can help young people overcome childhood traumas and improve mental health and wellbeing. We seek to apply those insights to help young people in Haiti by introducing them to the joys and healthy discipline of table tennis?
Why table tennis? Because table tennis promotes socialization, improves health, fosters gender equality and enhances communication skills. It is a sport that requires little infrastructure and that can easily be played in a variety of physical and social settings. We are blessed to be building on the work of Haitian table tennis coach Mozart Francois, whose passion for the sport has inspired generations of players. Mozart's love for table tennis, Haiti and young people everywhere inspires our work!
