In Trinidad & Tobago, the CLC cohort moved decisively from theory to action. Of the five approved community projects, four have been successfully implemented, delivering measurable results across schools, communities, and digital platforms.

At Couva West Secondary School, 9X BETTER engaged approximately 500 students aged 12–17 years old. With 60% previously inactive, the project set a 10% participation growth target and achieved it. The initiative created an inclusive, high-energy Sport for All environment, engaging girls, boys, and students with disabilities while strengthening national sport partnerships.

CODE RED addressed menstrual health as a a sport participant` welfare and equity issue. More than 100 women and girls, including national youth athletes, participated in education sessions that reduced stigma, increased knowledge, and reinforced continued participation in sport.

Through innovation, Show Me Yuh Motion expanded reach beyond physical venues. The social media campaign engaged approximately 3,500 people nationwide, including 1,800 women and girls and 43 persons with disabilities, proving that inclusion can scale through digital storytelling.

At A.S.J.A. Girls’ College, Let’s Play brought structured, confidence-building physical activities to 46 girls, with teachers reporting improved teamwork and collaboration. The school has already requested continuation in 2026.

Collectively, the four implemented projects have reached over 4,000 direct participants, strengthened partnerships, and demonstrated how CLC learning translates into tangible community change.

With Trinidad & Tobago setting the pace, we now look ahead to the implementation of projects from Rwanda, Botswana, Lesotho, and Fiji, as the CLC movement expands its global footprint.
