Our Purpose
Future Stars Academy wants to pursue sustainable social development for the youth by working on leadership, empowerment and sense of responsibility within the kids. We call it social development through sports. It is not ‘just’ about playing football, but about using football (and sports) as a tool to touch base on other crucial issues for the youth in Arusha and Moshi and help them in becoming responsible members for their local communities.
Our Supporters
We have received worldwide recognition and support from donors and sponsors for our work in the community. Our club have some loyal supporters and we are very grateful for their support.
It’s not only about giving; partnering up with us means that you as an organization, donor or grant have a great impact on the community and life of children. But also a huge reach on other partners, companies and people through our events and activities.
