Help transform the lives of Ugandan Youth
Donation protected
Hello my name is Jarred Pearce and I am attemping to raise funds for my soccer brother and fellow coach, Zziwa Uthman of Free Kick Soccer Academy in Kampala, Uganda.
Coach Uthman strives to transform the local youth through sports and education. He provides mentorship, housing, food and coaching to local kids, many of which were homeless and living on the street. Currently, he has 20 kids living in his one-bedroom home with five mattresses on the floor. His love, kindness and mentorship are helping to create a better path for kids that have traditionally been left with no opportunity for a better life.
Through soccer the kids learn to work as a team, respect each other, learn to compete, proper work ethic and so much more.
Coach Uthman also works to get as many kids into boarding school each year. Schools in this region are expensive for him since he is personally caring for so many children. Kids must come to school with with matresses, sheets, school clothing, books, pens, pencils, cleaning supplies, and so much more. It is not the traditional education system we take for granted in the west.
We can make a big impact with these kids and change lives. The US Dollar and the Euro can go very far in Uganda. The monies raised from this are sent directly to Free Kick Soccer Academy for education and soccer. No money is taken from other agencies in the process, so the full proceeds will be made available to these kids. There is no donation too small, donations as small as $5 can go a long way.
