We train every Sunday for at least two hours with up to 100 kids. They come from all over Kigali to play and be part of the biggest football team in the city. The main ingredient for a successful training is the spirit of our trainers and participating players, but we cannot do without materials such as footballs and bibs, water to rehydrate and bananas, rice and beans to refuel. Remember that these kids do not come from backgrounds where mom and pop prepares a lunch box. They often live on the street or in the best of cases share a roof over their heads but live in families that battle misfortune everyday to put on the table.

Every donation is fully spent on materials, transport, water and food to enable the kids to participate in the trainings. There are no 'admin' or other hidden costs.

We love your participation, even if you do not donate money. You may have questions and suggestions to share, or would like get to help our cause in another way, by sharing the mission or enter into a professional partnership.
