MUMBAI: Soccer’s governing body Fifa has approved
a further 27 programmes in 24 countries, at a total
cost of $ 1 million, as part of its Football for Hope
movement.
Of
those organisations with mostly long-running programmes
that are set to receive support from FIFA, 12 are in
Africa with a further nine in North, Central and South
America, four in Europe and two in Asia.
One
of them is the Child Link India Foundation. These additional
programmes, whose inclusion has been ratified by the
sub-committee of the Committee for Fair Play and Social
Responsibility, will take Football for Hope to a whole
new dimension. The movement already uses the power of
football to support more than 60 programmes in 40 different
countries via concrete, sustainable projects.
