🌍 AROUND THE WORLD

📍 Zimbabwe 🇿🇼

The soccer balls are traveling—and they’re finding their way into some pretty special hands.

In Zimbabwe, our partners are bringing the gift of soccer into schools and villages, where children are gathering to play, compete, laugh, and dream.

But there’s something we love even more about the way these balls are being distributed.

They’re being placed in the hands of Hidden Heroes—pastors, teachers, and social workers who already know these communities and the children they serve.

They know the names.

They know the stories.

They know where there is a need.

And now they have another simple tool to bring children together.

A soccer ball can open a door.

A trusted adult can walk through it.

And that’s where something bigger can begin.

From Tanzania to Zimbabwe, the journey continues. ⚽🌍

This is worth celebrating. 🥳

Thanks to you 747 soccer balls have been donated!! 🙌

That’s a big number but each one has an individual impact.

So what does 747 soccer balls look like ?

It looks like a child getting to play with a real ball for the first time in Tanzania.

It looks like a team of young women forming in Zimbabwe.

It looks like a new game beginning for children in the slums of Kenya.

It looks like laughter, friendship and hope. Multiplied by 747.

We’re going to spend the next few weeks showing you where all these soccer balls are going.

Next stop: Zimbabwe. 🇿🇼

Follow along. The journey is just beginning. ⚽🌍

Every child has a dream.

A simple soccer ball lets them know…
- they are seen.
- they are valued.
- their dreams are worth chasing.

Thank you to the hundreds of you who have donated a soccer ball.

You are giving children the opportunity to play and believe their dreams are possible.

Be part of a movement to change the world one soccer ball at a time.

At first glance, it’s just a game.

But we’ve seen it become so much more.

A soccer ball brings children together.

A game creates friendships.

A team opens the door for trusted coaches to mentor the next generation.

Soccer builds confidence, teaches teamwork, and gives children a place where they belong.

We’re not just investing in soccer.

We’re investing in the opportunities that begin when a child steps onto the field.

Because the game isn’t the destination.

It’s the invitation.

That’s why we call it More Than Soccer. ❤️

🌍 The Journey Begins

📍 Tanzania

Last week, soccer balls from our 1,000 Soccer Ball Campaign began hitting fields in Tanzania.

Seeing the children light up and then immediately start playing and invite their friends to join us the next day, reminds us that this has always been about more than .

Every soccer ball creates an opportunity.
An opportunity to play.
To belong.
To build friendships.
To be encouraged by trusted coaches.
Thank you for helping write the first chapter of this story.

The story of is just beginning.

Next stop... Zimbabwe. ⚽❤️

The World Cup is over …
But our mission has just begun.

Around the world, millions celebrated the beautiful game. Here in East Africa, we’re reminded that soccer is more than a sport—it’s an opportunity.

An opportunity to play.
To belong.
To build friendships.
To be mentored.
To dream about what’s possible.
That’s why we believe in More Than Soccer.

Because every child deserves the opportunity to experience the joy, confidence, and community that starts with soccer. ⚽❤️

07/23/2026

More than 675 soccer balls have now been sponsored and we’re beginning to watch the first ones reach children across East Africa and beyond. ⚽️🙌

Every soccer ball represents an opportunity.
An opportunity for a child to play.
To build friendships.
To be encouraged by a coach.
To discover they belong.

The first stories are just starting, and we can’t wait to share them with you.

Thank you to everyone who has donated, prayed, shared, and cheered this campaign on.❤️

It’s more than a campaign now. It’s real hope hitting the ground in the form of a soccer ball. And this is just the beginning. 🥹

The final whistle has blown, the trophy has been lifted, and the 2026 World Cup has come to an end.

But one thing will remain long after the celebration is over…

The world was reminded why soccer is called the beautiful game.

For the last month, billions of people gathered around one sport. Different languages. Different cultures. Different backgrounds. Yet for 90 minutes, everyone spoke the same language.

That’s the power of soccer.

At Northbound, we’ve witnessed that same power on dusty fields and in communities across Africa. A soccer ball becomes more than a game—it becomes a bridge. It opens doors to mentorship, builds friendships, restores dignity, and creates opportunities for children to dream again.

Sport has a unique way of bringing people together. And when it’s paired with hope, purpose, and caring adults, it can help transform lives.

That’s why we believe in More Than Soccer.

Because while the World Cup may be over, the beautiful game is still changing lives—one child, one community, and one soccer ball at a time. ⚽❤️

One of the most inspiring stories of this World Cup isn’t just about winning matches.

It’s about overcoming.

Cape Verde - a small island nation with a population of around 500,000- captured the attention of the world through the beautiful game.

That’s what soccer can do.

Despite being their first they made it to the knockout round and nearly defeated Argentina, last years World Cup champion!

The beautiful game has a way of opening doors.

We have seen how something as simple as a soccer ball brings access and opportunity to children who need it.

Every child needs a safe place to play.

Every person needs someone who believes in them.

And every dream deserves the chance to grow.

Let’s give more children that opportunity. ⚽❤️

07/16/2026

Because of you…

⚽ 500+ Soccer Balls Sponsored!🎉

Thank you. ❤️

What started as a simple idea has grown into something incredible. Thanks to your generosity, more than 500 soccer balls have already been sponsored through our 1,000 Soccer Ball Campaign.

Each soccer ball represents so much more than a game. It’s an opportunity for a child to experience joy, build confidence, form friendships, and discover they belong.

And the best part?

The first ones are already hitting the ground.

We’re beginning to see the first smiles, the first games, and the first stories unfold…and we can’t wait to share more with you.

To every person who gave, shared, prayed, or encouraged others to join this campaign: thank you. You are helping create opportunities for children around the world, one soccer ball at a time.

This is just the beginning. ⚽❤️
