Kick the Ball and Score the world

African Young Empowerment Initiative International is charity organization based in Jinja district of Uganda. The major objective of African Young Empowerment Initiative International is to transform the lives of children and youth so as to bring hope and a smile on their faces. Hundreds of millions of children are exploited, abused, and violently attacked each year. Many work as virtual slaves in hazardous conditions. Others are abducted and forced to become child soldiers or child prostitutes. The trust of many children has been further betrayed by incest and other horrific acts of abuse.

KICK THE BALL AND SCORE THE WORLD

Soccer is a magic game that brings together people from different kinds of life to form a team, work together to achieve success. We developed this programme called KICK THE BALL AND SCORE THE WORLD so that we can develop the talent in the young people of our communities and at the same time kick out misery and cause a smile.

Playing soccer is a good strategy in mobilizing the youth to take part in the community work, develop their talents, fight diseases, tribalism and racism, and promote education which is the greatest weapon to change the world.

When a player kicks the ball:-

• He sores peace,
• Kicks malaria
• Kicks AIDS
• Kicks racism and tribalism
• Kicks illiteracy
• Kicks misery
• Builds team work
• And scores the world

let save the children

Out reach to HIV/AIDS Orphans and Child-headed families

Hundreds of millions of children are exploited, abused, and violently attacked each year. Many work as virtual slaves in hazardous conditions. Others are abducted and forced to become child soldiers or child prostitutes. The trust of many children has been further betrayed by incest and other horrific acts of abuse.

lets work together to change the world next time i will bring you a story of a former child abduct by the rebels in our country

The rate at which men and women in Africa are scrambling to AIDS has stretched the capacity of conventional orphan care system, giving rise to orphan or child headed homes. The emergence of O/CHH systems largely results from the failure of traditional extended family system to cope with the ever growing number of orphans, many of whom lack access to basic services such as education, food water and sanitation.

The African young empowerment programme intends to improve access to education, medical care, water and sanitation services for orphan or child headed homes in Jinja district of Uganda. This project can only be achieved with support from you our dear. JOIN US NOW AND BRING CHANGE!!
