The Homeless World Cup
Most people think that we should try to get homeless people off the streets and
back to work. But few people have good ideas about how they can help.
Mel Young from Scotland and Harald Schmied from Austria had a great idea.
They are the founders of the Homeless World Cup (HWC). The HWC is an
international football tournament for people who are homeless. The event is
held every year and began in 2003 in Austria. At first, people said things like
“homeless people can’t play football” or “they shouldn’t waste time and money
organising football matches, they should play the homeless find work”. But
Young and Schimied saw football as a way to change people’s lives and to help
them feel good about themselves and get out of poverty. Thirty-one of the
original 141 players from the 2003 tournament had a job one year after the
tournament.
The impact is getting stronger each year and today about 73% of players make
a positive change in their lives after taking part in the HWC. After playing in the
HWC, players come off drugs and alcohol. They move into jobs. They get
training and education They get in contact with their families again and they get
somewhere to live. Some have even become professional or semi-professional
football players or coaches.
So perhaps we should all think again about how to help the homeless instead of
thinking that we can’t do anything. We can make a difference. It seems that
finding a passion such as playing sport can help homeless people to find their
way in life again.
Mel Young and Harald Schmied are from the same place.
