Many thanks to our Ball Project partners & supporters for a successful 2011.

Ball Project’s mission is to help children play by getting balls & sports equipment to local community leaders around the world.

Ball Project was founded on one simple idea: If children learn to play together when they are young, they are less likely to fight each other as adults.
