“We trained 20 coaches from the Central Division and the West to teach life skills alongside cricket. Our three core values are unity, inspire, and empower, and these are the foundation of what we promote to the kids.”

The program, which Tuilau described as a safety net for youth, aims to complement traditional support systems like families, churches, and communities.

By fostering leadership and strong values, the initiative seeks to shape children into positive contributors to society.
