Mission Statement: (Why we exist)
Using sport to give HOPE to our young people by developing and growing their skills through programs energised by God’s love
Vision: (Where we want to go)
Our Vision is to provide a Value-Based Sports Coaching service to schools, clubs and academies in all communities, to develop and grow the skills and character of our young people and to give them the HOPE that only God can give.
- Value-Based Sports Coaching means that we will provide qualified coaches who know Jesus Christ as their saviour and who can impart more than sporting skills to the youth in various communities
- Develop and grow skills means that we want to use sport to upskill the youth with life skills and positive characteristic qualities to show them that through applying the lessons taught in sport, they can apply it in most aspects of life (leading, team dynamics, discipline, etc.)
- HOPE that only God can give means that we will show our young people that the hope that God gives is everlasting and that once you have Jesus Christ in your life, one can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.

What we do:
ASLAN-HIS aims to work with thousands of young people on a weekly basis to make a positive difference in their lives and in their communities. Through God’s guidance, we will give them building blocks to become whoever they want to be in life.
Through sport we engage with young people, enabling them to develop self-esteem, determination, integrity, team spirit, social responsibility and life skills. These include the concepts of teamwork, leadership, self-control, making good life choices and respect.
ASLAN-HIS works with young people, many of whom are at risk of being excluded from schools, whom are vulnerable to crime or gangsterism or are from communities that experience high levels of social deprivation.
Due to the economic status in the Eastern and Western Cape, we want to start our projects in these communities.
Our quality sports programs are easily accessible, it is non-elitist and fun. Our Christian coaches are experienced and qualified across various sporting codes and all have Police clearances.
