Get A Kick Out of Sharing

You can help boys and girls return to the joy of being children by participating in World Vision's Get A Kick Out of Sharing program.

Children love soccer. But many of the world's children live in poverty and have never played with a real toy — let alone a real soccer ball. Instead, they play with balls made of rags, banana leaves, or wads of plastic tied together with string. Take a couple minutes to view this video to watch a 12-year-old boy in Africa make his own soccerball.


This program is a nationwide effort to acquire new and gently used soccer balls. These are distributed to children in need worldwide to allow them to play games, have fun, and, oftentimes, regain their childhood. You can put a smile on a child's face by collecting soccer balls and small hand pumps.


Rally your corporation, organization, or team to start collecting these items today. Submit your info online and we will contact you with more information. Or, simply send boxes of deflated balls and pumps with your donation form (available here) to:
