Besides hockey, there is attention to a social theme and to life skills. Together they play, share, learn and grow. Together, the coaches and players of today, are the game changers of tomorrow.

In 2006 is de oprichter begonnen met voetballen met straatkinderen in ‘de stad van de eeuwige lente’ Medellin, Colombia. Na verloop van tijd deed een grote groep kinderen structureel mee. Toen kwam de vraag vanuit de kinderen: ‘Zouden we kunnen voetballen in een officiële competitie?’ ‘Daar wil ik mijn best voor doen, maar dan wil ik dat jullie naar school gaan.’ was zijn antwoord. Zo is de stichting gestart met één jongens- en één meisjesteam. Het was het begin van de stichting Children of Medellín. Nu, in 2022 staat educatie nog steeds centraal, we hebben 500 kinderen in 14 verschillende activiteiten, en wij geven de kans aan jongeren om na de middelbare school een vervolgopleiding te kunnen volgen.

READ to RISE promotes youth literacy in under-resourced communities in South Africa. The organisation hopes to get children excited about reading through its class programmes and by giving new story books to children to own. Children who love to read, will excel at school and go on to become good constructive members of society. It all starts with reading. To date, READ to RISE has conducted over 6,000 class programmes around South Africa and given out over 260,000 new story books. For only R50 per learner, they will benefit from the READ to RISE class programme and receive a brand new book to take home. We work with 20,000 children at 77 primary schools in Mitchells Plain and Soweto.

Can you imagine your wife, your sister, your mother, your daughter birthing a baby alone with no medical supplies, pain medicine, and no one there to help? All over the world, from sub-Saharan Africa to Central America, Asia, even parts of the United States, women are left to give birth alone, without life saving medicines, without pain intervention, and without support. OneMama changes this statistic by bringing medical clinics, midwives and nurses, medical supplies, and a marketplace for women to sell crafts & crops for family sustainability to rural places where people live on less than $1 per day. Just one birthing kit supports a woman giving birth and saves lives!

Ons nieuwe projekt is de aanleg van een sportveld. Umbrella of Hope ondersteunt kinderen uit financieel en sociaal zwakke milieu's in Nyeri - Kenya. Dit doen wij meestal in samenwerking met de Githwariga Primary School. Deze school, met bijna 700 leerlingen, heeft geen sportmogelijkheden. Naast de school is een braakliggend terrein, met voldoende ruimte om een basketbalveld te realiseren. Dat zou een geweldige vooruitgang zijn, tijdens schooluren kunnen de kinderen sporten, na schooltijd kan het veld gebruikt worden door verenigingen. Ons motto: Meedoen is belangrijker dan winnen. Doet u mee??

Stichting Sponsorkind Gambia zet zich in voor de kansarme kinderen in Gambia. In het dorp Manna ondersteunt de stichting een basisschool. Met hulp van de stichting vind er een verbetering plaats m.b.t de kwaliteit van het onderwijs. De muur om de school heen is gebroken. Hierdoor wordt het schoolplein bevuild door de loslopende dieren. De groente welke groeien in de schooltuin krijgen ook geen kans om te groeien. Ze worden opgegeten door de dieren. Hierdoor is er meer honger en is er geen schoolmaaltijd meer beschikbaar voor deze kinderen. Helpt u mee met het renoveren van de schoolmuur door uw donatie?

Stichting Mtangani biedt goed onderwijs aan 300 kinderen van zeer arme gezinnen in Mtangani, Kenia. De kosten hiervoor worden gedragen door sponsors in Nederland. Voor 12 euro per maand kan een kind bij ons naar school. De kinderen gaan graag naar school, maar de meisjes in de bovenbouw blijven regelmatig thuis als ze menstrueren. Ze missen hierdoor te veel lessen. Tot op heden gebruiken ze oude lappen die niet geschikt zijn om goed de dag door te komen. Met goed (wasbaar)maandverband willen we de meisjes zekerheid bieden en hun verzuim minimaliseren.

Mwasi Makasi staat voor sterke vrouw. Vrouwen verkrachten is in Congo een standaardoorlogswapen: verkracht alle vrouwen en meisjes in het bijzijn van hun vaders, mannen en zonen en je hebt in één klap de “fabrics of society” vernietigd. Zo verloren vrouwen hun eigenwaarden en worden ze verstoten: ze leven maar bestaan niet meer. Mwasi Makasi zet zich voor deze vrouwen in. Door landbouw activiteiten geeft Mwasi Makasi deze vrouwen een gezicht: ze worden zelfstandig en kunnen een nieuw leven opbouwen en hun kinderen naar school laten gaan. ALLES BEGINT BIJ DE MAMA’S…Wij kunnen niet iedereen helpen maar iedereen kan wel een iemand helpen. Dank alvast voor uw bijdrage.

APA (아시아 필란트로피 어워드, Asia Philanthropy Awards)는 종교, 이념, 분야, 단체의 규모 등에 대한 차별을 두지 않고 아시아 지역에서 필란트로피 정신을 실천하는 숨겨진 리더들을 찾아내 격려하는 상입니다. APA는 이런 시상을 통해 보다 나은 세상을 만들고자 하는 아시아의 개인 및 단체가 자신의 가치와 비전을 실현하는데 도움을 주는 것을 목적으로 합니다. 2015년 비영리 영역에 일하고 있는 100여 명의 사람들이 모여 시작한 APA는 아시아 지역에서 사회문제 해결과 공동체 가치 실현에 헌신하는 필란트로피스트를 찾아내 사회의 귀감으로 삼고 보다 나은 세상을 만들고자 시작되었습니다. APA가 다른 시상식과 차별화되는 이유는 정부와 기업, 또는 영향력 있는 개인의 후원 없이 비영리 활동가들이 독립적으로 운영한다는 점입니다. 시민과 비영리 활동가들이 자발적으로 참여하며, 5개 기준(공헌성, 혁신성, 신뢰성, 확장성, 지속성)을 바탕으로 엄격한 심사를 거처 수상자가 선정됩니다.

Without access to accurate menstrual education, girls are often absent from school during menstruation, missing up to four days of school every month. 1/3 of girls in South Africa report staying out of school during menstruation, others drop out of school completely. The reason is often as simple as they cannot afford, or do not have access to, basic feminine hygiene products. Wild Hearts Foundation Africa was founded to keep girls in school, and is committed to addressing the problems of menstrual education and accessible hygiene products while employing women to work in our factory which has manufactured and distributed over 68 000 reusable sanitary pads to school girls.

The youth at our Courage Youth Schools are underserved and continually face issues such as dysfunctional/abusive families, substance abuse, gender-based violence, teen pregnancy and poverty.

This contributes to them facing prospects of tertiary education or employment after graduation. We address these challenges and assist youth through our broad-based education programs. As a team, we are passionate and dedicated to helping the youth in South Africa.

We realiseren het ons niet, maar zo vanzelfsprekend voedsel, water, een dak boven ons hoofd en dan ook nog onderwijs voor ons is, zo niet vanzelfsprekend is het voor kinderen in Kenia. Het is vaak voor hen een wens. Ze overleven door de hulp van elkaar en door stichtingen zoals Kumbatio. Kumbatio (betekent ‘omhelzing’ in het Swahili) vangt kinderen op in het kinderhuis ‘Kiota’ . Deze kinderen komen uit families waarin mishandeling, misbruik of verlating plaatsvindt. Eenmaal opgevangen in Kiota krijgen ze wel deze basisbehoeften, kunnen ze naar school en worden ze begeleid in het verwerken van hun trauma’s. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bouwen aan een stabiele toekomst~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Het is belangrijk dat deze kinderen hun trauma’s kunnen verwerken en naar school kunnen, zodat ze een stabiele toekomst kunnen opbouwen. Het is ook belangrijk dat de kinderen weer bij hun familie kunnen wonen. Daarom werkt Kumbatio ook met de familieleden om ervoor te zorgen dat ze zich zo kunnen ontwikkelen dat ze zelf kunnen zorgen voor inkomsten en aan gezonde relaties binnen de familie kunnen werken. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kiota (betekent ‘nest’ in het Swahili) ligt in de stad Thika op ongeveer 50km van de hoofdstad Nairobi. Kinderen worden hier opgevangen en begeleid door huismoeders, een huisvader, social workers en psychologen. Dankzij Kumbatio kunnen deze kinderen iedere dag naar school. In tegenstelling tot kinderen hier in Nederland die soms geen zin hebben om naar school te gaan, kijken de kinderen er daar altijd naar uit. Ze realiseren zich dat school heel belangrijk is voor hun toekomst, zodat ze niet afhankelijk zijn van hulp van anderen om te kunnen overleven, maar dat ze kunnen zorgen voor zichzelf en het leven kunnen leven. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Kiota Dream ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Om nog meer te kunnen betekenen voor de kinderen in Thika is ‘The Kiota Dream’ gestart. De aanleiding hiervoor was het luisteren naar de kinderen en de medewerkers wat ze misten en waar ze behoefte aan hebben. Hierbij zijn we tot de conclusie gekomen dat we aparte gezinshuizen nodig hebben en een mogelijkheid tot het ontwikkelen van vaardigheden die bijdragen aan zelfredzaamheid van de familie. Dus niet hulp aanbieden om te overleven, maar kennis overdragen om voor zichzelf te zorgen. Dat laatste wordt het ‘community training center’, een plek waar de families geleerd wordt om voor zichzelf en de rest van hun familie te zorgen, zodat er ruimte is voor aandacht en liefde voor hun kinderen.
