Play Soccer So They Can

On the 25th-27th of September, we are launching a grassroots community effort to support development of children and youth who have been affected by war.

What is it?

A weekend, where people of all ages, come together to play soccer to support children who have been affected by war and robbed of their childhoods.

Why are we doing it?

To raise funds to help local programs, in communities recovering from the effects of war, that use (and need) soccer to engage and empower their children and youth.

Who can get involved?

School teams and clubs; local soccer and sport teams; community groups; groups of friends; and, anyone else who wants to play soccer in their community so that children who have been affected by war can too.

The funds raised by this year will be used to support the development of local youth-led programs and organizations, in Rwanda and Northern Uganda, that use soccer to empower and engage their children and youth in a community-building manner.

More information about the event and where the funds will go is available in this 2 page doc.

If you are interested in being a part of this community, please email us at oa@oaprojects.org.

Invite your community to play soccer on September 25-27th and give war-affected children a chance to play too.
