Most of the children attending the Embrace Programme face a difficult home life of poverty and instability and are from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. The selection process gives no priority to race, gender or religion and is an allinclusive tennis/life skills programme. The children learn tennis and sports skills at the Tennis Center and the programme collaborates with excellent daycare centres where the kids learn important life skills. It is clear that the children’s confidence and self-esteem has risen. Over 400 children have taken part in the program in the past 6 years.
