Especially in rural communities, women and girls are not encouraged to pursue sports professionally, especially due to financial barriers that prohibit those from low income backgrounds from advancing in the field due to the cost of equipment and training. Offering free of charge training and equipment as well as targeted attention to the most talented of players has seen the Foundation of Goodness’ Sports Academy in Seenigama (Galle District) produce outstanding athletes and sports women who have represented out nation across the board at different sports. Our goal is to produce Olympic medal winners through our specialized training programmes to take our rural women to the international stage.
