ATHLETE
Help spread the MUNGU movement by giving these African kids a chance to find success for themselves, their family, and their communities.
MUNGU Academy Sponsorship Program
Our vision at MUNGU is to bring newfound opportunities to young athletes in Africa. The sad reality is, amongst MUNGU FC players, over 1/2 of these kids are orphaned and are living with friends, guardians, orphanages etc.
We are on a mission to make sure each child in MUNGU Academy has access to food, education, community, and growth in sport. We have calculated that in order to provide three meals a day, education enrollment, sports equipment, access to church, and housing for every athlete, it comes out to around $34/month. This small sum of money can make all the difference in unlocking a new path of life for each player and giving them the tools they need to succeed in life.
Here is how your sponsored child will benefit from just 34$ each month:
-Food and Water.
- Education and Tuition costs.
- Housing.
-Loving and caring Community.
-All soccer gear and equipment.
-Enrollment in MUNGU ACADEMY.
While this might seem like a small amount of money, $34 can go such a long way in enabling a child to grow in a proper environment, as well as have proper training and coaching to take soccer to the next level and be able to spread love to all areas of the globe through sport!
We ask that you join us in working to stop the constant generational poverty and lack of opportunity that exists in many place of Africa. With your help, we can give hope to these children and provide a better path for them in life. We aim to get these athletes global opportunities to play soccer and live better lives, but it starts with their upbringing as children in receiving proper education, having reliant shelter and food, and most importantly, having a godly community around them to pour love and give them a better shot at life.
