Every Mind Matters

Who says sports are just about winning? Through the Every Mind Matters—Sports for Transformational Development project, we use the unbeatable power of sports to tackle the growing mental health struggles among children and youth in the North of Sri Lanka!

Why Sports? Because It’s More Than a Game!

Dr. N. Saravanabavan, the Regional Director of Health Services, shared her expertise and endorsed the initiative. She highlighted the surge in psychological issues among adolescents in war-affected areas in the North, stressing the potential of sports to release endorphins, reduce anxiety and depression, and foster a sense of community. Sports also offer children a healthy outlet for their energy while promoting emotional well-being.

It’s like scoring a goal but for your mind!

How EMM Works

Here’s the game plan - We’re raising funds to get professional coaches, sports gear, and skill-building opportunities into the hands of children and youth. With sports, we’re not just teaching them how to kick a ball or shoot hoops—we’re building confidence, boosting their academic performance, and giving them a whole new outlook on life!

So why wait another second? Join us today – Let’s make a difference together!
