Sports and Leadership Training Academy (SALT) provides education and support through a community-based football programme, reaching up to 2,000 children and young adults across three Northwest Cambodian provinces. Before each match, the teams join together to attend lessons and workshops from a set curriculum, encompassing a number of different themes such as AIDS prevention and leadership.

Since 2006, SALT has been involved in developing young leaders with an emphasis on life skills lessons, vocational training and community engagement. There is also a special focus on empowering girls and women through sport, a particularly important concern in a region listed as a major hub for human trafficking.
