Who are you trying to help? What issue are you trying to address?

The FIFA Football for Hope Centre was constructed in Cameroon by the World Football Federation to assist rural based street children, orphans and vulnerable children/young people in the domain of sports, education and health.

United Action for Children was chosen by FIFA as the host to the centre in Cameroon. We are trying to address the educational, vocational training, social and health needs of children and young people particularly rural based, orphans, vulnerable and street children/youths.

What is your project and how will it help?

The FIFA Football for Hope Centre in Cameroon is within the framework of United Action for Children’s Community Sports for Development Programme. Within the Community Sports for Development Programme, UAC uses the power of football to enable children/young people channel their energy towards productive initiatives.

In this programme, children are mobilised to organise clean up campaigns in their respective communities, setup community/cooperative initiatives and carry out thematic discussions on issues affecting their growth and development.

Apart from Sports, the Orphans, rural based/street and vulnerable children/ youths using the Football for Hope Centre facilities will also be equipped with employable skills in computer and agriculture. This will be aimed at reducing youth unemployment which is one of the objectives of the centre.
