In a nation where less than 30% of the population is educated, Diambars has set out to educate young people, who in turn will relay their knowledge to their friends, families and communities. Diambars’s goal is to combine sport and education—general, technical and professional—in a manner that instills work ethic, discipline and confidence in the students.

Each year the Diambars Academy takes on street children, providing them with a home and education for the next five years. For the organisation and its volunteers, the joy of watching these children develop their skills on and off the pitch is immeasurable.
