Balls to Poverty is a charity based in South Nottingham College which works with young people both in Nottingham and South Africa. Every year, students travel to South Africa to distribute footballs and rugby balls in townships, experiencing life in a different perspective.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I went to Uganda in April this year with the charity Balls To Poverty.  Out there me and 15 other students from South Nottingham College coached football to children.  This helps them stay out of trouble and danger whilst also being able to have a good time.

Out there I was moved by how dedicated the children were to participate, although they had very little they always had so much enthusiasm.

In October 2011, I did a sponsored 10 mile run/walk with just shorts on and bare foot for the charity.  For this I raised approximately £800 but with a goal of £2000 every donation is needed.

If you donate, you will be helping fund the charity to obtain more footballs to go to Uganda and other deprived places in Africa.  You will also be helping children have an improved lifestyle and be happy.

Thank you, Benjamin Hill
