I’ve been spending time in Shayamoya, South Africa, while conducting fieldwork for my PhD. And along the way, I met a group of young soccer players who show up every day to train. They have very very little, but they have a lot of heart.

One of them is Younger. You might've seen him on my Instagram. He’s 15, incredibly talented, and until recently had never owned a pair of football boots.

We managed to get him his first pair, and seeing his reaction was something I won’t forget.

But there are many more boys just like him.

This page is simply a way for anyone who wants to be part of this to help support them — whether that’s boots, kit, transport, or small things that make a big difference.

I’ll continue sharing everything here so you can see exactly where the support goes.

Thank you for being part of it.

What your contribution can do:

15 CHF — contributes a football for a team

30 CHF — puts a kit on one of the players

70 CHF - puts a pair of boots on their feet

Any additional funds will go toward providing a simple meal before matches.

This is a small, local initiative — but one that already matters a lot to the kids who show up here every day.

If you can't contribute financially, sharing this page also helps a lot.

Thank you!
