Mission
COMBINE SOCCER WITH COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROJECTS TO PROMOTE LASTING CHANGE INIMPOVERISHED AFRICAN COMMUNITIES .
Program accomplishments
- Sustainable School Farms and Agriculture Education Program - We build school farms (including greenhouses, goat corrals, water access) to rural schools in Zimbabwe and provide livestock (goats typically), and weekly in-person agriculture education to the students. The farms generate food for the schools and income for the schools, as well as teach the students how to make a living through farming.Expenses $32,745
- Running soccer clinics and tournaments, providing school supplies and instruction to rural African schools.Expenses $10,024
- The Bethesda Village Project involved two schools: Bethesda Primary School & Bethesda Secondary School. The village and schools are located about 30 kms outside of Victoria Falls and receive little outside help. We did a community transformation which involved several projects. 1.) We drilled a well; installed a solar pump; installed piping to the school; and put spigots at the schools. The well is used by the entire village and provides clean water for all. At the schools, the water not only provides clean water for drinking, cooking, and cleaning, it also is key to maintaining the new farm we built for the schools. 2.) We built a greenhouse; built a goat corral; and planted an orchard (primarily orange and mango trees). We also supplied the goats for the farm (15). We provided seedlings and gardening tools to get the farm going. 3.) We built a soccer field, complete with metal goals, provided school uniforms and balls.Expenses $20,164
