GIVE JOY
The UEFA Foundation for Children supports iACT as we provide food, employment, preschools, and youth soccer academies for refugees, led by refugees.
OUR PARTNERSHIP
+
We work hand-in-hand with refugees to provide food, create jobs, build preschools and establish youth soccer academies in camps around the world. It’s for refugees, led by refugees.
UEFA Foundation for Children have awarded funding to cover 49% of this latest expansion. We have secured another $25,000 from the Weintraub Family Foundation. We need support from people like you to secure the remaining amount to fully this expansion.
Only with the help of generous supporters like you, alongside the UEFA Foundation for Children, will we be able to support 8,810 refugee boys and girls in this project.
