When our work began in 2011, the approach was basic. We provided soccer uniforms, balls, and other soccer gear for children and youth in elementary and high schools, orphanages and soccer programs through Team sponsorship. We have learned a lot and now we offer additional solutions to poverty and injustice issues — and make it sustainable so it lasts.We work around the world and across Canada, because we believe in the power of transformation. Our
programs empowers children and families to break the cycle of
poverty and reach their potential.

Our Philosophy
Soccer brings people from all four corners of the globe together which is most powerful tool in our world. Regardless of ethnic background, religion,
where you live, one ball has the power to bring people together to create change and enable children and youth to be leaders in their community, region
and country.To improve the quality of life of children, youth, and young adults through soccer.
By creating an avenue to participate in the skills and games of soccer that directly impacts their quality of life. Using the theory of play and training, children, youth and young adults are given the opportunity to improve their physical and emotional well-being, interpersonal relationship skills, personal development, and chance to create their own self-determination for future careers and decisions through interactive and character building programs.
