We are engaging young ambassadors in Montclair, NJ.
KIC’s Young Ambassadors (YA) program is much more than kids helping kids. It provides an opportunity for young people to grow as global citizens.
KIC’s Young Ambassadors share the same love of soccer as kids in Cameroon, who are equally, if not more, enthusiastic about the sport. YAs are also inspiring advocates of KIC’s mission. They support KIC by reaching out to their social media following, decision-makers in the community, and other young people to inspire them also to support the KIC mission.
Job creation in Cameroon, Africa.
Job creation is the first step to stabilizing families and communities. Jobs impact economic growth and build hope. To date, KIC has provided a living wage to the 25 contractors constructing the soccer field. This impacts the lives of the contractors’ family members and community members who see increased demand for their products and services.
Access to clean water.
KIC has taken the first step in providing the clean water that citizens in Cameroon and across the globe need and deserve – something many in the U.S. take for granted. During Phase 1 KIC drilled, installed, and capped a well that is being used for the construction of walls around the field. During Phase 4 the well infrastructure will be extended to provide clean water to the entire village.
