GOALS Haiti...Scoring for Humanity

“GOALS doesn’t do charity. Our work is driven forward by the community’s needs and the community’s own contributions. This is aid dependency in reverse: in Destra, GOALS relies on the community to organize, support, complete, and then maintain projects. [GOALS’ work] is showing that we can improve the way people and organizations tackle development work, from soccer and gardening to toilets and houses.”– Kona Shen, GOALS Founder & Director

GOALS or the Global Outreach And Love Of Soccer is a non-profit uses soccer to empower and change the lives of children by improving their quality of life, the environment and developing local leadership.  23 year old Shen founded the organization which "works in areas of Haiti in need of immediate and long-term community and environmental development action."

Programs include summer camps, after-school events, and neighborhood teams, but the efforts extend beyond the game with a focus on Education & Leadership, Community Development, Environmental Rehabilitation, and Health.
