Favela United

Favela United inspires and creates change makers by using the transformational power of football to empower youth from marginalized communities Our football for development program unites children coming from different disadvantaged neighbourhoods. These youngsters often grow up in an unstable environment, with very limited training and development opportunities. Our aim is to provide the youth with the opportunity to create a better future for themselves and their community by teaching them on the pitch about fair play, inclusion and respect – lessons directly transferable to life in general and off the pitch, they participate into our ‘Life Captains’ social development program
