Services
The NGO Services
At GIMAT Volunteers Network, we are committed to empowering children, youth, and underserved communities through a dynamic range of programs that combine sports, education, health, and advocacy. Our projects are designed to transform lives, one community at a time.
Women Empowerment
At GIMAT, we believe empowered women empower communities. Through workshops, football training, summits, and mentorship programs, we provide young women and girls with the tools they need to build confidence, protect their rights, and pursue education and leadership opportunities. Our initiatives focus on gender equality, reproductive health education, vocational skills, and advocacy against gender-based violence (GBV).
Sports for Social Change
We use the unifying power of sports—especially football and basketball—to promote inclusion, teamwork, and resilience. Sports are more than just games; they are platforms for teaching life skills, building discipline, and creating safe spaces for dialogue and healing. Through community leagues, training sessions, and international tournaments, we use sports to educate, empower, and transform.
Formal & informal Education
Education is at the heart of our mission. We support both formal schooling and informal learning opportunities for youth who are out of school or at risk of dropping out. Our planned Youth Empowerment Centre will include a library and digital learning hub. GIMAT also offers training in entrepreneurship, financial literacy, health education, and digital skills, ensuring no one is left behind.
Street Tournament
Our community tournaments create a platform for street-connected youth to showcase their talent, build friendships, and gain a sense of belonging. These tournaments are not just about sports—they’re about hope, healing, and second chances. Participants also benefit from counseling, skills training, and mentorship, helping them reintegrate into society with dignity.
Mental Health Wellness
GIMAT promotes mental wellness by creating safe spaces where youth can talk, heal, and be heard. We integrate mental health education into our programs, offer peer support, and raise awareness around emotional resilience, self-esteem, and trauma recovery. By addressing mental health openly, we break stigma and foster healthy, confident individuals.
Homeless Awareness
Homelessness, especially among youth, is a growing challenge in Ghana. GIMAT advocates for social inclusion and support systems for young people at risk of or experiencing homelessness. Through storytelling, community engagement, and participation in global platforms like the Homeless World Cup, we shine a light on their struggles and their strength.
