I'm pleased to announce the 2nd KKFF shipment is on its way! We had many more donations than expected!! Baboucarr at Moneypipe picked up 32 boxes yesterday and the truck took them off to be loaded onto the ship! Transport is expected to take about 6 weeks, so watch this space. Once again, huge, kind thanks to each and every person here in the UK who contributed to the donations, both for WYCE School and for the Kartong Football Academy. Your help means so much to so many.x

Hello everyone! I am currently organising a second shipment of donations to go out to Gambia, in October/November! As this is a small, self-funded charity, I'm really hoping to raise the shipping costs as I have no money of my own (each shipment costs around £400; our target is £1000). If you can help this worthwhile cause please do. Any amount, however small, will be most gratefully appreciated! All goes towards the needy children of rural West Africa, to help inspire them, teach them, give them purpose and hope, creating their own goals and dreams; and driving them towards a more positive future. Let's help to put shoes on feet!! xx

Kartong Kicks Football Feet is a small-scale initiative supplying unwanted/used football shoes, kits and equipment to needy players in and around the village of Kartong, The Gambia.
