Why did you choose to become a Ball To All ambassador?

Born & raised in the informal settlements of Nairobi, have had firsthand experience of the consequences of poverty among children & youths from poor back. Due to this I have started Fountain Youth Initiative, which is a registered community based organization in Kenya that operates in the informal settlements of Nairobi and rural areas of the western province. In the informal settlements & rural areas of Kenya, the vulnerable children and youths have limited access to basic amenities thus forcing majority of them to engage in social vices such as drug abuse, crime leading wasted lives. As part of addressing the above challenges, we have started a project that uses soccer to equip vulnerable kids with critical life skills to facilitate holistic development and as a Ball to All Ambassador will be able to ensure every kid in our areas of operation has soccer ball thus reducing their chances of engaging in risky behaviors.
