Thank you for trusting and serving faithfully. Our partnership makes a huge difference in the lives of many.
Ball Project is thankful for our partners in India & around the world working faithfully to build community & help children play.
Since the war in Ukraine began, fewer of our youth and families are in Zhytomyr. Many are now refugees. In Zhytomyr, our community is really feeling the impact of war. But after several months of reduced programming, we were finally able to invite some of our Stop the Cycle families to the Shelter for our first Stop the Cycle meeting of the summer. For these kids, our Shelter – including the equipment The Ball Project has provided – is a safe place to play and be together with their caring Last Bell family, even in the midst of war.

Here is a story that started with much ignited passion to develop young leaders in Africa prior to World Cup 2010 In Africa.
Before World Cup 2010, we trained and mobilized a lot of coaches and community leaders on how to bring out Whole Life coaching and train young leaders to be fathers of the continent.
We have a number of leaders still developing young leaders and restoring the fatherhood and motherhood in the families through Whole Life coaching.
For some of us, Whole Life coaching became a life style. We decided to walk a journey with coaches and players to attain the desired goals.
Some of the coaches and players we have been walking with have made huge impact in their communities by multiplying leadership values. A good example is Mpulungu Youth, a Whole Life coaching sports and mentoring initiative that have seen about 40 boys proceed from Division 3, Division 2 and now have qualified to go to Division 1 after topping the leagues.
The team has become a role model among the 48 Football Association of Zambia registered clubs in the Northern Province.
‘We are impressed by the Mpulungu Youth boys, They have displayed both sportsmanship and leadership in and off the field, they therefor deserve to proceed to another level,’ Mr MK.
The 40 boys have been self reliant to support the movement by doing various micro businesses to supplement to personal lives and the life of sports. They sell:
- Eggs
- Sausages
- Fish
- Cassava
- Soft drinks
- Charcoal
- While others run barber shops and saloons
- Others keep chickens, goats, pigs, rabbits and grow vegetables
Kids Helping Coach others Kids.
10 out 40 have received either E or D FIFA licenses and have gone through Whole Life coaching and mentoring training. And many are coaching U 17, U 15, U 14, U 12, U 10 and Girls Soccer teams respectively.
160 Community Coaches involved in 200 villages; 3,000 young people impacted per year.
I really saw the dream. With the few boys modeling it, we are very excited to see how the vision will be unfolding.
