Sustainability

As Kickstart is an introduction to Thai boxing for participants, it is important to have systems in place to ensure sustainability beyond our direct involvement. Kickstart considers such sustainability and works to create and offer as many opportunities as possible for children to reach their full potential through the local Thai boxing community club.

Our approach is to create sustainable change by motivating the participants to become involved with a local community Thai Boxing club – Team Chongi; whether this be as a participant of the club, a mentor of the club coaches, a representative of the club in interclub competitions or assisting with background work of the club.
