Mehiel Foundation is proud to support this incredible NGO based in the village of Obomeng, Eastern Ghana.
Our aim is to support the development of amazing, young, local football talent.
There are currently around 40 boys across two football teams, in the under 13 and under 15 age groups. We aspire to support them as they grow, to reach their full sporting potential and one day become a future Ghana Black Star, like the world-class team coach Eric Ampadu.
The current building, accommodating children and volunteers is far too small for its purpose. Luckily, the village Chief has very kindly granted the Academy a plot of land, on which quarters can be built to house everyone comfortably and large enough to fit a training pitch as well.
Building is expensive in Ghana which is why we need your help to make this dream come true.
We are raising money to buy a Tro-Tro. Anyone who visited Ghana, will have seen the big multi-seater passenger vans that we call Tro-Tros. They are a really cheap way to allow people to move from place to place in Ghana.
The cost of one of these Tro-Tros is around £10,000 but they can generate a constant income stream of £400-£600 every month whilst also employing two drivers.
With the profits from a Tro-Tro, we can build nearly four new accommodation rooms per year, achieving our most basic aim of having rooms and access to toilet facilities in just two and a half to three years. Beyond that, we can have a full academy complex set up within five years.
Please help offer these young talents the opportunities they deserve.
