is a private development aid initiative. Our concrete work
focuses on a single country: South Africa. Founded during the 2006 Football World Cup in Germany, our campaign aims to provide at least 2010 local children with direct, practical and sustainable projects by the 2010 World Cup that help them help themselves. We make both symbolic and very concrete use of major football motifs such as fair play, team spirit, and a strong sense of solidarity, because: Football is movement. Football is play. Football is life! That is why children around in the world love this game. And we are using this tangible delight to improve the conditions of life for the *stars of tomorrow.
Together with local partners, we are launching aid projects with a football theme. Our main areas of activity focus include health issues such as providing information about HIV/AIDS, and assistance such as taking street children and orphans into the *stars of tomorrow supervisory program free of charge. Join us in helping our little *stars and support our projects!
