“Every kid around the world who plays soccer wants to be Pele. I have a great responsibility to show them not just how to be like a soccer player, but how to be like a man.” – Pele
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.
A ball can bring people together (check out how).
At Ball Project our mission is to help children by helping children play.
Ball Project works to get balls & sports equipment to coaches & community leaders around the world to help children play & reach their full potential. It is simple. It works.
Ball Project is a small organization that is 100% volunteer led. 100% of donations go to partners to buy balls & other equipment for sport & games.
Ball Project is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
“The best way to attract the kids? Bring a ball and they will come in hundreds. You don’t need to blow the whistle. Just bounce the ball.”– Joseph, Zambia
A group of boys play soccer on a field adjacent to the K.M. Garden Community, home to 60,000 people living in close proximity in Chennai, India.
“It’s easier to build boys than to mend men.”
