We believe that everyone has capabilities more powerful than their circumstances.
In other words…
We all have internal abilities,
that can take us beyond our external limitations,
to a life of joy and fulfillment.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
-
A PROBLEM: a lack of confidence and belief that these internal abilities exist.
-
OUR SOLUTION: to help children realize and cultivate these abilities through empowerment by way of football.

Since 2013, Soccer2Unite has been empowering the children of Uganda to realize their incredible capabilities. So far, we have provided over 2,000 pounds of gear, supported more than 20 schools, and reached upwards of 500 children with equipment and our annual Soccer2Unite Tournament.
These results have been an indescribable joy for those involved (us included!), but they remain just the first steps on our path to global child empowerment. The specifics of our long-term plan are always being reshaped, but here’s what we have on our plate for this year.

Our 2017 Goals:
