Play it Forward

This week we hosted an insightful workshop under the Kick for Change Project. We provided training to communities in Livingstone using football, life skills, and counselling to fight substance abuse and inspire hope. A big thank you to the team efforts of ReachAll Zambia, African Shade and the Play it Forward team.

We are making sure that education remains accessible by donating learning materials. Every £25 you give helps us continue this mission. Visit playitforward.org to contribute towards change!
