What’s known as “soccer” in the U.S. is “futbol” or “football” to the rest of the world. Regardless of name, the game itself has the same draw and impact worldwide: it has the power to bridge connections among people, countries and cultures. That was certainly the case during my recent trip to Kilifi, Kenya with Helping Hand for Relief and Development.
Before leaving, the group I was traveling with gave some money to the school and we asked them to purchase soccer balls with that money. Yesterday, we received pictures of the balls the school had received and the kids looked extatic!
That's when we decided to start Pass It On. To continue to bring joy to these children even if it's with something as simple as a soccer ball!
These balls will be donated to Helping Hand for Relief and Development (HHRD). An organization carrying out multiple relief projects in Kenya. HHRD will then distribute the balls to local schools located in Kilifi and surrounding underprivileged areas.
All balls will be purchased through an organization called Alive and Kicking.
Alive and Kicking balls are hand-stitched in areas of high unemployment in Africa. Their production keeps 140 people in Nairobi, Lusaka and Accra in full-time work. Each of their staff supports an average of six people with their wage, meaning they directly support a community of over 800.
Each soccer ball costs 1750 shillings! Which is $17.50! Not only will you be giving joy to hundreds of children, but you'll also be helping local Kenyans with work! A win-win.
