<div><strong>How Football Changed My Life—and Inspired My Mission</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Tapiwa Manhungo, and I grew up in Zimbabwe with big dreams but few opportunities. Football changed my life, opening doors to education, travel and personal growth.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many talented friends never received the same opportunity. Without resources or support, some turned to drugs and other dangerous paths. They didn’t lack talent—they lacked a bridge to a better future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>City SC Harare is that bridge.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our cost-free academy now serves more than 80 boys from U11 through U19, many from low-income families. We provide professional coaching, mentorship, equipment and a safe, structured environment where players can grow both on and off the field.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our goal is not only to develop better players, but also better human beings—future leaders, responsible citizens and role models who will give back to their communities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>It costs approximately $610 per month to operate the academy. </strong>This supports two full-time coaches, transportation, referee fees, training water, post-game meals, field rental and maintenance, player welfare and matchday expenses. We also need approximately $100 for training equipment and $200 to ship donated jerseys and kits from the United States.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Your support makes a direct difference:</strong>
</div>
<div>$20 provides training water for a month
</div>
<div>$50 supports field rental and maintenance
</div>
<div>$100 helps transport our teams
</div>
<div>$150 supports one coach’s monthly stipend
</div>
<div>$610 funds a full month of operations
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution, no matter the size, can help change a child’s story—just as football once changed mine.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider donating and helping us give these young athletes the opportunities, guidance and hope they deserve.

<div>Because GoFundMe does not currently support direct withdrawals in Zimbabwe, donations will be received by City SC in the United States and transferred to support City SC Harare.
