We are working closely with Footballs for Fun,
they are an organisation set up to help you give Footballs to girls
& boys in Africa. The footballs are vacuum packed & come
with a small airpump & are very light to fit easily into a
suitcase. You can give them away on your holiday, or send one via
Footballs for Fun. They will help stimulate fun and laughter for
boys & girls throughout the continent. But that’s not all;
all Footballs for Fun’s profits go to charities to help those
suffering from AIDS, Malaria, TB or Polio; to help those affected by
drug abuse; and also to help supply clean drinking water.
In Kenya, as in much of Africa, the lack of safe
drinking water causes many severe problems including dehydration,
starvation and disease. The daily chore of fetching water is no small
task in rural Kenya, and young women often walk as far as ten miles to
collect what water they can from a polluted, dirty, hand-dug well, full
of parasites and bacteria. These primitive wells are also structurally
dangerous and often collapse when they get deep enough. In Kenya, the
high mortality rate among children under five years old is primarily
due to waterborne diseases such as gastroenteritis, diarrhea, malaria,
and amoebic dysentery, to name just a few. All of these problems
are exacerbated by the fact that economic hardship, inadequate
education, and lack of public transport prevent many individuals from
seeking healthcare in the early stages of an illness.
