"Kicking a ball around can be enjoyed by any child, anywhere around the world. The gift of a football can help children forget the harsh realities of living in the midst of conflict, disaster or extreme poverty, even if it’s just for 90 minutes.
It can give them back a sense of normality – and let them dream of being the next Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo or Steven Gerrard."
Your gift will help a child like Malik cope with difficult situations. Malik cried a lot when his father was killed during the fighting in Libya: “I miss him. He used to take us to the parks to play.”
Now Malik comes to a Save the Children activity centre in the city of Benghazi, where he can do the things he loves – especially playing football. He can have fun with his friends and dream of playing for his heroes, Barcelona.
The gift of a football doesn’t guarantee Malik footballing stardom, but it is giving him back his childhood and helping him look forward to the future with hope.
