C4BF Makes a difference in Kenya

In July C4BF received a request for cleats to help the Aspire Mega Soccer Academy (AMSA) in Kenya. The AMSA is a sports centered charitable organization established to transform the lives of the most impoverished and vulnerable youngsters through soccer and education in Kenya. Most of their participants are orphans who cannot afford to buy equipment, not even shoes to wear to school. This is the kind of challenge Cleats For Bare Feet is working toward overcoming.

In August, we connected with a US representative for AMSA and provided them with 13 pairs of cleats for their team.

Today, we received this letter and photos from the Director of AMSA.

Dear C4BF,  

Thank you so much for your donation of 13 pairs of soccer cleats, and 1 ball.In fact. We don't know how to thank you and if it will ever be enough!
We may not be able to thank everyone who donated these cleats but, please let them know that AMSA youngsters are very proud of them and that they have contributed to a great cause and injected a fresh impetus of hope and self belief into the lives of impoverished and vulnerable youngsters in KENYA.
Before your donation, we only had 5 pairs of cleats that were being shared at intervals among the under 12 years. The players wearing shoes at the beginning of the game would in turn share them at the start of 2 half!
That now, the under 12 years can comfortably play 90 minutes wearing cleats is a big milestone to us and by extension the entire community.

As you can see, we still require cleats, shin guards, even uniforms for the older players. We shall always welcome and appreciate any assistance from you. Attached herein are photos of AMSA children.

We don't even know how to thank you and whether our thanks will ever be enough. The equipment to us is a dream come true! And a miracle! , you are changing many lives here!.Attached are the photos of the youngsters.
May the Almighty Father bless you abundantly and long live cleats for bare feat.

Sincerely ,

Eusebias Francis

It is our great pleasure to have been able to be a part of helping Eusebias, his team, and the AMSE work towards their continued goal of identifying, nurturing  and developing talent both on the field as well as in the classroom. 

We hope to be able to find other ways to provide the participants of AMSE with more equipment in the coming months.
