Kids in Cleats is a wonderful organization that empowers children in Cameroon by providing access to soccer training, gear and facilities as well as educational resources to help pave paths out of poverty. On top of this, the organization brings awareness to young sports ambassadors in the U.S. (like my 14yr old daughter and her teammates) on how they can help communities abroad through their volunteering efforts. Founder/Coach Julio is an inspiration to my daughter and her teammates on how they can use their own talents/resources to lift up less privileged children globally.

I'm thankful for such a great foundation providing opportunities to the less fortunate families through football ( US soccer). Looking forward to to seeing the foundation's fruits - great student athletes competing in future local and global tournaments, and who knows perhaps the World Cup.

It was great learning about all of the long-term as well as some of the more shorter term projects that are going on to help children in Cameroon.

This summer (2022) K.I.C. hosted a soccer tournament in Mbouda, and distributed cleats to many needy kids. Used computers were purchased, refurbished and brought to Cameroon where they are being used to educate the kids in the community and to connect them to the outside world. These efforts were made possible by our wonderful donors, and through the hard work of our Young Ambassadors, board members and teams of volunteers. Our efforts are making a difference!
