The Miracle Africa International Foundation has also developed an initiative – “Education through Sports,” to be carried out in various African villages.

The initiative is aimed at creating green areas where kids can practice football and other athletic disciplines, to supplement their school teaching with a training coach through the practice of sports as an effective tool of social integration.

“Education through Sports” is for all children from six years of age until adolescence and is based on three thematic areas:

• Providing each village with a sports field, related services and sports equipment for the children

• Training educators through specialized coaching programs

• Providing educational scholarships for young African soccer talents.

The Miracle Africa International Foundation is honored to work on this project with Yasmin Behzadi for Ghana as they both strongly believe in the power of education through sports to foster a new conscious and responsible generation that drives Africa’s future forward.

Yasmin on Wednesday July 21, with the help of some professional footballers; Samuel Sarfo a Ghana Black Star and Al Khaleej Fc defender and Bernard Oliver Mensah of Black Stars and Kayserispor FC donated some sports equipment and food items to the Ideal Football Club.

Speaking to Yasmin during the event, she said most of the young people who want to pursue a career in sports, do not give much importance to their education or schooling, where “Miracle Africa International Foundation and Yasmin are strong believers that a successful future can be built via supporting sports in school environments,” she noted.
