FOOTBALL FOR CHANGE
Football for Change is about using the game of football for social good and uniting our shared passion for the beautiful game to make a real difference in society.
Favela united works with the most vulnerable children of our society and uses football as a tool to drive social change from youth leadership to gender equility and from youth employability to violence prevention. Our football program unites street children and children coming from different marginalized neighbourhoods. These youngsters often grow up in an unstable environment, with very limited training and development opportunities.
