The amount is the balance from the 20k raise! Frustratingly JustGiving made me start again when the deadline set to raise funds expired without warning!

Below is the amount raised already and a sample of previous donors.

Help Ali Oumarou bring more kids into tennis

I have known Ali over 10 years, and he is a special person. He works tirelessly to support his family and nurture another “family” which are the local children with very little and normally no access to a sport like tennis. Ali has introduced hundreds of children into the sport and now he has a lease for this club he can do more – although he desperately needs further help to have courts with true bounces and repair fences to contain balls so the kids become good enough to help our mission for them to play tournaments and maybe....

.......achieve the impossible dream of American College tennis. Ali understands that in order to continue helping hundreds of underprivileged children into tennis with a dream of securing an education via tennis, he must have a viable and sustainable tennis community.

Please state GIFT if you are donating the money or LOAN as Ali is committed to repaying any money loaned which you can then apply to another cause. I’m totally invested both emotionally and financially because I passionately believe in the opportunities Ali is creating in young lives. Please help me complete this worthwhile project by the end of February.
