What we do

our mission

We believe in the power of football to change the world for the better. Our mission is to provide youth football coaches with the tools they need in order to use football as a vehicle for social change and act as multipliers and role models that lead by example and make a positive impact on their peers and their communities.

Educating Coaches

We recruite and qualify coaches to use football specific training for children to promote their personal, emotional and social development.

Sharing Knowledge

For us, knowledge shouldn’t just be free and accessible but shared openly between coaches, associations & organizations.

Empowering Leaders

We support coaches with new methods and knowledge to serve as a role model for their teams and communities.

Loving Football

We enjoy what we’re doing because we care passionately about our projects and have joy in watching coaches grow and kids having fun.

Where we started

Our Story

Our journey began when German football coach Sascha Bauer during his time as coach instructor in South Africa visited Cape Town and the GCU Academy in Heideveld. Sascha decided to support the Academy and founded Football for Unity Worldwide to raise awareness in Germany for the Sport for Development movement. Since then we have further developed our approach, adapted methodologies, cooperated with new projects in South Africa, Mozambique, Brazil and Germany and learned so much with and from our partners and coaches.

                                                            

What we believe in

Our Values

It matters to us what we do and how we do it. So, we truly believe in our core values as guide lines for our actions.

Empowerment

Change only comes with strong leaders who come up with new ideas, beliefs and actions. We believe that football coaches can be those leaders. So we empower them to step up for a better future and make a difference.

Ubuntu

Ubuntu is an African philosophy meaning “humanity.” It is often translated as “I am because we are,” or “humanity towards others,” but is often used in a more philosophical sense to mean “the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity.”

Integrity

Being honest and reliable with yourself und others is a basic human skill to establish healthy relationships. We believe in Fairplay on and off the football field and expect the same from our partners, coaches and supporters.
