A team of coaches from Regional Sports will set off on a life-changing journey later this year.
The sports company will fly to Kenya in July to donate sports gear to underprivileged children in orphanages and community schools.
Over the last few months, Regional Sports has been hard at work gathering football boots, shirts, and other sports kits for the children.
Last year, the sports company took four boxes of donated kit over to a small rural village, which its players and parents had collected, as well as additional equipment including sunglasses, whistles, shin pads and shirts.
During their visit, the Regional Sports team visited a school for deaf children, as well as a mixed school on the outskirts of Nairobi.
The club said the students and teachers welcomed them with open arms and made them feel very welcome.
A spokesperson for Regional Sports added: “When we gave the football boots, shirts and donated equipment to the kids and teachers, they were so happy – you could immediately see the impact on their faces.
“Giving a child a pair of boots was a great feeling. The boots went on their feet straight away and they ran around the school grounds, where they had previously run bare foot.
“The smallest donations mean the world to them, and it was amazing to see this first hand. The schools have some very talented players, who can now wear their football boots and train/play on any ground in Kenya, whether its sand, dirt or grass. We will never forget the smiles on their faces”
If you’d like to donate your old boots, or sports gear, please contact Regional Sports. The staff will set off on their trip in July.
