Hope & Belonging.
Out of 1,500,000 children under the age of ten, more than 600,000 are in a situation of poverty and at the same time their families are in the same conditions, since nearly two thousand Household income ranges between 14,000 (2.52 dollars) and 21,000 guaranies (3.78 dollars) a day, a budget that becomes insufficient for daily food (DGEEC, 2019).
Concerned with the reality in Paraguay, TeamUp seeks to be part of the solution by creating ongoing sports programs where children and youth are cared for and are mentored.
Together We Assist
Sport programs.
TeamUp executes its activities through its agent Jesus Responde, a non-qualified done, and local leaders to provide an opportunity for children to participate in sport activities and recreational games in conjunction with youth community programs, like weekly nutritional programs or regular community outreach.
Community support.
TeamUp provides sports equipment, sports clothing and overall footwear for children who participate in nutrition, sporting and educational programs. In addition, through various fundraising, and securing donated sports gear, TeamUp helps resourcing the local communities so that leaders are able to provide ongoing sports and children activities in their communities.
Training leaders.
TeamUp is involved in training facilitators, volunteers and local leaders in a number of ways. Through its agent, TeamUp assists in an annual conference that is provided for community facilitators and leaders. TeamUp also provides funding, resources, sports equipment as well as trainers to help teach and train facilitators at training events including and not limited to in-person seminars and webinars.
