By 2030, the vision is to positively impact 1 million Liberian children through soccer. The founder shared this vision with the President of Liberia after returning from 40 years in the U.S. Training has been conducted for league commissioners and community organizers to support the vision. Community spaces have been cleaned and over 2,000 players marched in a parade to kick off Liberia's first national youth soccer league, with the Vice President in attendance. Games have brought together communities and attracted thousands of spectators, while celebrating champions and imparting hope to disadvantaged youth.
