Fundraising for Africa on the Ball
Story
We are attempting to walk 21 miles in a day to support an inspirings and amazing cause Africa On The Ball, and to walk with our pal who less than one year ago had a second metal hip
Africa On The Ball is a small international sport for development charity founded in Scotland, that uses the power of football to improve education, healthcare, gender equality and enterprise in deprived communities of Africa, starting in Kalingalinga, Zambia.
While we're passionate about the sport of football, we are also calculated in how we use it to create positive change. We give young and older people – boys and girls, mothers and fathers – the chance to play football in a structured way, as part of a team. As part of that team, we help them to learn new things and give something back to their community through outreach programmes. We ask the community how we can help, what they need and what matters to them. Africa on the Ball is a team in every sense of the word. We work together to achieve goals as well as score them.
Be part of our Team and be part of our Dream
The money I hope to raise will go towards 4 people being trained for a year in various skills at the Lusaka Youth Resource Centre to help the Kalingalinga community. Thank you for your support.
