No kid should be denied the chance to kick a ball about. It’s one of life’s most simple pleasures.

So that’s what we’re here for. To get sports equipment direct into the hands (or feet) of some of the world's most disadvantaged kids. 

More balls, more smiles. Simple.


Right Now
With your support this October a team of volunteers will head for Zambia, a country that suffers one of the worst rates of HIV/AIDS in Africa. The aim is to give away over 3,000 balls on behalf of individuals back here. 

Recently
Last month volunteers returned from Uganda, hand delivering over 3,000 footballs and netballs to children, on behalf of people back here in the UK. Why Uganda? Because sadly it still has one of the largest number of orphans in the world.  
In 2006 we gave away over 3,000 brand new balls to children across Malawi, one of the poorest countries in the world.  In 2007 we did the same in Angola, a country recovering from almost 30years of civil war.

Future
Early next year, again with your support, another team will head for Rwanda. We are also currently scoping a project in Nicaragua for 2009. Watch this space.

 

Why?
Footballs not only provide some much needed fun, but they can also be used to help increase school attendance and performance overnight. Alternatively, kids from villages that once fought each other in war, can now use football to play together in peace. All around the world orphan centres, local run organisations and community projects can use footballs to draw kids off the street and into care. Put simply, footballs are a hugely resourceful tool. 

Every tenner you give is converted into a brand new football, pump & spare valves and hand delivered by us with a message that it comes from you (yes, it really is that personal).  Every ball goes direct to kids in schools, orphanages and by the side of the road and you can find out exactly where your ball went. See for yourself Click here to see the team in action.

So it’s pretty straightforward. If you love football, stripped of all its money, marketing and celebrity, join in and click here to give a ball.
