The Prince Godswill Edward Football Academy. With a renewed focus on empowering youth and steering them away from violence, the academy’s grassroots activities are making waves and transforming lives.
Under the banner of the “GIVE THEM BALLS NOT GUNS” project, the academy is providing a platform for young people to channel their energy and talents into positive endeavors. Through sports, particularly football, they are not only honing their athletic abilities but also learning invaluable life skills and values.
In a recent successful session, the academy gathered local youth for a day of training, teamwork, and mentorship. Led by dedicated coaches and volunteers, the session emphasized the importance of equal opportunity for all, regardless of background or circumstance.
“We believe that sports can be a catalyst for change,” said Prince Godswill Edward, founder of the academy. “By engaging youth in activities they are passionate about, we can steer them away from the allure of violence and crime, and towards a brighter future.”
The academy’s holistic approach goes beyond the football pitch. Through various programs and initiatives, they aim to instill a sense of responsibility, community engagement, and leadership among the youth. From educational workshops to community service projects, participants are encouraged to take ownership of their lives and become active citizens.
The impact of the Prince Godswill Edward Football Academy is palpable in Ikot Ishie Community. Through their efforts, young people are finding purpose, hope, and a sense of belonging. As they trade guns for balls, they are not just playing a game – they are building a better future for themselves and their community.
