A: NGOs measure the success of football kit donation programs through various quantitative and qualitative metrics that assess both the immediate impacts of the donations and their long-term benefits on communities. Here are some key methods used.
1. Participant Engagement and Reach
2. Behavioural Changes and Skill Development
3. Feedback from Participants
4. Community Impact Assessment
5. Alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
6. Cost Savings for NGOs…By providing football kits free of charge, NGOs can redirect funds that would otherwise be spent on purchasing new kits towards other critical initiatives such as education or health programs. This financial metric is crucial for assessing the overall efficiency and sustainability of the program.
7. Long-term Tracking of Alumni Success
Every season, millions of football shirts go unsold—whether due to overproduction, rebranding, or limited-time campaigns. These jerseys often face three outcomes: heavy discounting via clearance outlets or online flash sales, long-term storage, or worse—destruction and landfill disposal.
At Kits for the World, we believe there’s a better way. We work with football clubs, federations, and manufacturers—always within licensing and commercial agreements—to ethically re home or up cycle unsold and unused kits. Our donation and reuse initiatives help extend the life of football kits, reduce textile waste, and create lasting social and environmental impact across communities worldwide.
From pitch to purpose, let’s make every shirt count.

What sets us apart? Our model is sustainable, transparent, and aligned with licensing and commercial agreements—making it easy for clubs, brands, and donors to support without risk. And when boots reach the end of their playable life, we ensure they are ethically recycled, helping to close the loop and reduce waste.
Whether you’re a player, a parent, a club, or a federation, your unused boots can fuel the game and empower communities.
