Huracan FC Tukyo´m México

Building a project life.

Project impact metric improvement target

At Huracán FC Tukyo´m México, our mission is ensuring that 100% of the participants develop a life project based on their interests and needs, with short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals, using football as a catalyst to pursue their aspirations.

By providing tools that support the development of their life projects, young people will be able to take greater responsibility, feel motivated to achieve their goals, make assertive decisions for their present and future, and contribute to their communities by addressing the challenges that arise within them.

Activity Plan to Achieve this Target

  • Asynchronous follow-up, 2 hours per week = 8 hours per month.

  • Monthly personalized tutoring session on life projects. Achievement and progress are reviewed.

Child Case Study

Alan Ruiz Galván is 19 years old. Alan, being an introverted young person, rarely joined in sports or social activities.

"My experience has been quite surprising. I've felt like I'm on a roller coaster, sometimes nervous before entering the matches, other times excited when we win. I've had a great time, it's a little escape for me when I attend. I've strengthened empathy, social interaction, and I feel like it gives us a little break from school and has been very helpful in breaking the routine. I've seen how those who already have experience have helped me improve little by little, and I believe I can do the same for those who are just joining the team."

New Partnerships Built

  • A close bond has been established with one of the representative teams from the community of Tamazulápam del Espíritu Santo Mixes to coordinate friendly sports matches between their team and the Huracán Tukyo'm club. This relationship has contributed to the preparation of both teams for various regional and state-level competitions.

  • Through engagement with municipal and educational authorities, the management for the use of public sports facilities has been successfully secured, allowing the socio-sports sessions and friendly matches with other teams to take place.

Words from Project Leader, Etim-Etim

“The Huracán Foundation, through my project (HURACÁN FC ABEOKUTA-NIGERIA), has brought me closer to achieving my dreams of bridging the gaps of educational inequities and social injustices in my country. The project has given me the opportunity to weave my community and become a major change driver. I am genuinely grateful and indebted to the THF team and my fellow project leaders for their support during the first half of my project. As I move into the second half of my project, I have reflected and adjusted my tactics and training, made the necessary substitutions to achieve a resounding victory: to see 'every Nigerian child having the opportunity to receive excellent education'.”

The Next 6 Months

  • What are your plans for the next 6 months with the project? The goals for the future are to maintain or increase the number of participants in the club. This can be achieved by actively promoting the club's activities and reaching out to potential new members.

    Participating in more tournaments will provide valuable opportunities for the players to gain experience and enhance their skills. It will also expose them to new challenges and help them grow as individuals and as a team.

    The club aims to foster a sense of ownership and autonomy within the community by ensuring that the community members understand and embrace the club's methodology. This can be achieved through ongoing communication, training, and involvement of community members in decision-making processes. Empowering the community to manage the club independently will contribute to its long-term sustainability and success.

  • What impact are you expecting to have? The club aims to contribute to the reduction of school dropout rates by providing a supportive environment where children and youth can engage in sports activities. By promoting the importance of education and emphasizing the correlation between academic success and participation in the club, it seeks to motivate and encourage its members to stay in school.

    Another objective is to support the personal goals and aspirations of the players. The club strives to create a space where individuals can develop their skills, build self-confidence, and work towards their own life projects. By providing guidance, mentorship, and resources, it aims to empower its members to pursue their dreams and achieve personal growth.

    Additionally, the club seeks to foster a culture of sports, physical activity, and social interaction within the community. By organizing events, tournaments, and friendly matches, it aims to promote the benefits of sports, encourage an active lifestyle, and create opportunities for community members to come together and build relationships. Through these activities, it aspires to enhance community cohesion and well-being.

  • What support would you like to receive? Financial resources for the consolidation of the club's activities, guidance, training, updates, and In-person success stories to motivate club members.
