We went out, we shared a Vision and a Dream, the Youth and Partners bought in, now our goal is to deliver the Vision and the Dream.

Summary of what we said;

1. We would get 𝟯𝟰 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 for the championship, we 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝟮𝟮 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀.

2. We would empower the teams to come up with SDGs ImPACT projects, we 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝟭𝟭 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗱 (Watch here >>> https://www.global-youthforum.org/index.php/what-we-do/impact-project )

3. We would plant 3 fruit trees for every goal scored at the tournament (82 Goals were scored, meaning we have to plant 246 Fruit Trees) Planning in progress.

Our end game being to eradicate poverty across Africa.

As they say, ideas are everywhere and what teams have submitted are just ideas, our goal is now to support them in turning their ideas into real impact in the next 6 months.

From there we will find the Champion of the contest. For us this is an exciting phase of the project.

Our aim is to reward impact and not ideas on paper and we feel this is where the focus should be for all change makers and funders out there if we are to eradicate Poverty in Africa or achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.

We now have a clear path of how hashtag will support our journey towards Poverty eradication. (It will be shared soon)

Join us in eradicating Poverty in 340 households in Kenya through the Power of Sports, Coaching and Mentorship.
