Sports for Social Change

Play and sports are excellent educational tools for introducing the concept of education and teaching young people the fundamental values required to live successfully in society. Although the benefits of sports for development are not fully realized, sports can help bridge cultural and ethnic divides, create jobs and businesses, promote tolerance and non-discrimination, reinforce social inclusion, and advocate for healthy lifestyles. Although sports development cannot be a perfect solution for all societal issues or a priority over the basic needs of disadvantaged communities, it can have many positive effects and be a valuable tool for development. Sport is used as a social change intervention tool by Shelter Ashraya Nepal because it can unite people divided by national passions, politics, religions, and cultures. It can combat discrimination, raise awareness about women's rights and issues, and help divided communities facilitate cooperation
