The moment the door opened and a very enthusiastic child flew around my neck was very emotional

Hope4hope, one of our projects in Kenya, miraculously has a school building at its disposal. Children from the neighborhood who cannot go to school can still receive education! In addition to the building, they obviously need much more to start the school. https://youtu.be/vyvjJr0Yhcw?si=ARdX8FtGLPtxnSTn
A poor family in Africa often does not have enough money to send their child(ren) to school. Therefore, they will soon “force” their daughters to marry early so that they are taken care of. For these young women there is no chance to learn and build on their qualities and gifts. Hope4hope in Kenya has decided to include these young women in the football process. In this way they can build on their qualities and limits and also look for and indicate them. In this way they make themselves more resilient and they have a stronger position in society. There is such great enthusiasm for it that unfortunately there is always a shortage of football boots, balls and clothing. Especially the shoes wear out quickly and playing football barefoot gives the necessary injuries. These girls are very happy with their own pair of shoes! It gives them the chance to fight, train and become stronger in the game. you see the girls liven up day by day. Sometimes they are on the field before dawn and can't wait to get started. Will you help with a new set of football boots? You have no idea how grateful they are to you!
