What is KitAid? |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| KitAid is a charity that sends unwanted football kit to children and adults across Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| It started in 1998 when Derrick Williams, Three Valleys Water employee, visited Tanzania with the charity WaterAid. Derrick, who is passionate about football, realised that the young children in villages in Tanzania shared the same love of football. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| When he returned home, Derrick spoke to work colleagues and friends and shortly afterwards the first box of donated football kit was on its way to the children he'd met in Tanzania. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The willingness of people around him, led Derrick on to set up KitAid and the appeal has grown year on year with a total of around 10,000 children receiving shirts, kit and footballs in Tanzania, Ghana, Mali, Burkina Faso, Nigeria and Eastern Europe. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
