Empower children and youth to break the cycle of poverty
To provide financial and educational support to deprived, excluded and vulnerable children and youth living in poverty so that they can improve their lives and have the opportunity to become young adults, parents, and leaders who bring lasting and positive change in their communities.


We exist for children – and their voices and experiences guide everything we do. We provide and advocate for education, health, and nutrition services, and protect them from violence and abuse. Each year, our soccer and education programs help children and families facing poverty create the conditions for children to thrive.

As a community development organization, we work hand in hand with local partner organizations to diminish the impact of poverty on children. Because local people know their own neighborhoods best and they have the solutions at their disposal, our role is to empower them to solve their own problems.

We believe that people are people, no matter their circumstances or experiences, and that their value is intrinsic and immeasurable. All humans are made in the image of God. We are called to love and care about each other. So, we strive to honor the dignity of every child in our programs and every human being we meet, no matter what.
