FOOTBALL KIT DONATION

UAC

ABOUT UAC

In Cameroon, almost one million children live on the streets. This is mostly owing to the region’s economic collapse in the late 1980s and early 1990s. When families struggle, Cameroon’s children suffer first, especially those from underprivileged and marginalised groups.

United Action for Children (UAC) aims to help street children and those who are at risk of dropping out of school return to and stay in school.

Children have access to a secure and stable environment through the organisation, where they may attend football training and get instruction about conflict resolution, HIV/AIDS, and basic educational programmes and career trainings in industries such as computing, woodworking, and more.

Kits for the World football kit donation details

The overall goal of UAC is to improve the living conditions of key affected populations (Deprived People) such as orphans, street children, internally displaced children as a result of the ongoing war in Cameroon’s English-speaking regions, youth, drug users, teenagers.

More than one million youngsters reside on the streets of Cameroon, primarily attributed to the economic downturn that occurred in the region during the late 1980s and early 1990s. When families face hardships, it’s the children of Cameroon who bear the brunt, particularly those in disadvantaged and marginalized areas.

United Action for Children (UAC) endeavors to facilitate the reintegration of street-dwelling children and those at risk of dropping out of school back into the educational system.

Through this initiative, children are provided with access to a secure and supportive environment. Here, they can participate in football training and receive education on topics such as conflict resolution and HIV/AIDS prevention. Additionally, they engage in foundational educational programs and vocational training in areas like computer skills and woodworking.

The organization’s goal is to engage parents and the broader community, ensuring local involvement and extending the reach of UAC initiatives beyond its centers and schools

Biodiversity

Wherever trees are established, wildlife and other plants are sure to follow, ensuring a healthier ecosystem. Trees provide shelter and food for a variety of birds and small animals. Attracting pollinators which in turn help with vegetable and plant growth used not just for food but also for medicines.   

Climate

Trees are sometimes called the lungs of the Earth because they absorb pollutants through their leaves. Trees improve water quality, and reduce flooding and erosion.

Trees temper climate. Trees lower air temperatures and humidity; they can also influence wind speed. Evaporation of water from trees, or transpiration, has a cooling effect. 

Kits for the World

Kits for the World is committed to help fighting the issue of climate change. To this end not only do we reuse and recycle football kits. We also look for the most sustainable way to transport football kits to our partner projects.

To offset this transaction we also are also looking to partner with charities that can help re-green planting trees and forests which play a crucial role in combating climate change and loss of biodiversity. 

Kits for the world are also looking to partner with companies of electric vans to help assist in local collections of kit donations.
