Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

We are the only organisation using sport for development in Afghanistan and more investment is needed to address poverty and homelessness with sport. We will grow to help more players change their lives and see government addresses poverty.

Project Message

When we tried to play football the Taliban would beat us. I worry that they will come back. Its only during our football that we cannot think about it. Football makes me happier than anything else.
- Najib, 23, Najib is a beneficiary, homeless due to war
