Preparing our youths for tomorrow

At SportCares, we firmly believe in the power of education and its impact on transforming lives. And yesterday evening, we got the chance to honour our second batch of SportCares Scholarship/Education Award recipients alongside our pioneer batch of Youth Industry Traineeship (YIT) participants.

These two initiatives underscore our commitment to nurturing young minds and empowering them to dream big, regardless of their background.

Understanding the SportCares Scholarship/Education Award

The SportCares Scholarship/Education Award is a testament to our dedication to fostering educational advancement among our SportCares youths.
