The big idea behind Ball Project is: children that play together are less likely to fight each other when they grow up.
The mission of Ball Project is to help children play.
Ball Project helps children play by working to get balls & equipment for sports & games to community leaders & coaches around the world.
Ball Project partners help children play in Africa, Asia, Caribbean, Europe, North & South & Latin America, & the South Pacific. Ball Project partners help children play in orphanages, prisons, refugee camps, rehab centers, schools & community leagues & clinics.
A decent soccer ball can cost anywhere from $6 in Mozambique to close to $80 in the South Pacific.
Ball Project is entirely volunteer led & made possible by the support of our partners & donors.

I am on my way to Africa to meet with partners.
It is never easy leaving family & friends at home. Thankfully 2 friends are coming along.
The focus of the trip will be to meet with new & old friends & partners & see some projects & scout for new opportunities. Hopefully one of the practical outcomes will be to find out what is working & what isn’t.
It is always good to be with partners face to face on the ground where we can share a coffee or meal, talk, listen, encourage & learn from one another as we work together to help children play.
