Children love soccer. But many of the world’s children live in poverty and have never played with a real soccer ball.

Instead, they play with balls made of rags, banana leaves, or wads of plastic tied together with string. This video from World Vision shows how much care and effort a 12-year-old boy in Africa invests in making his own soccer ball.

Join us as move move towards a more positive world where children around the world are encouraged and equipped to play. When you need a new soccer ball, please consider purchasing a Fair Trade Sports soccer ball and donating your current gently-used soccer ball to the World Vision “Get a Kick Out of Sharing” program.

Rally your organization or team to start collecting these items and send boxes of deflated balls and pumps with your donation form to:
