Sports Development

The focus of the sports programmes delivered by the Foundation of Goodness concentrates on the mental, physical and social health of sports participants and the development of life skills. The programmes are delivered via the Sports Academy in Seenigama as well as coaching camps, clinics and other forms of support such as the donation of equipment and development of sports facilities island-wide.
