Balls Into Africa 2010
Help us get 100,000 balls to the poorest chidren in sub-Sahara Africa by the 2010 Football World Cup
The 2010 Football World Cup is being held in South Africa, yet millions of children in Africa have never played with a real ball. We want your help to change this.
By donating a ball now you can ensure that children in Africa can have fun playing simple ball games with a durable, leather ball by the time the World Cup starts.
As our balls are used as an entry point into health education and stitched by local people, you'll also help create awareness of preventive illnesses and ensure jobs for adults. 
It costs just £10 to donate 1 ball. Click here to donate balls now and help us reach our target.
Or fundraise for us. Need a little help getting your fundraising ideas Alive & Kicking?! Download a fundraising pack, check out the poster above and visit our 'Get Active' page.
