About the Foundation

At the Leoka Mphuthi Foundation, we believe that every child deserves a future filled with opportunity. Education isn’t just a right—it’s a powerful tool that can break the cycles of poverty and build a better tomorrow for communities across the globe. By participating in this tournament, you are becoming a part of this transformative journey. Together, we can create change.

The Purpose Behind the Tournament

The inaugural Heavenly 5-a-Side Tourney is more than just a charity football event. It’s a movement to accumulate funds that will support children in San Pedro Sula and South Africa, equipping them with the resources they need to face daily challenges and pursue their education.

By taking part, you’re contributing to:

• Providing essential resources for children in need.

• Empowering young people through education and sports.

• Offering safe spaces and opportunities for kids to grow, thrive, and dream bigger.

Ongoing Initiatives Supported by the Foundation

1. Project Walk by Faith

This project ensures that children in South Africa have the shoes they need to walk across challenging terrains to get to school. Last year, the initiative donated 250 pairs of school shoes to students in Lindley, South Africa. This year, we aim to double that impact by donating 500 pairs and extending our reach to neighboring communities.

2. The Duchman Sports Academy

We recognize that not every child’s potential lies solely in academics. Some possess extraordinary physical talent, and the Duchman Sports Academy provides them with opportunities to shine.

• Weekly sports sessions for soccer, rugby, cricket, hockey, and athletics.

• Coaching, management, and access to tournaments.

• Pathways for scholarships, internships, and collaborations with reputable schools and businesses.

This project also aims to build sports facilities in smaller towns and establish aftercare centers that offer care, meals, and extended education for children in need. By addressing issues like kidnappings, substance abuse, and child gangsterism, we’re creating safer communities and giving children hope for a better future.

3. Lindley Disability Center Project

The Lindley Disability Center supports 16 special-needs individuals, ranging from children with paraplegia and mental disorders to those abandoned due to their disabilities. With funding from the Leoka Mphuthi Foundation, the center:

• Provides a safe haven for neglected individuals.

• Expands its reach to accommodate more children and adults needing care and support.

4. Fund a Child Project

Through this initiative, we identify talented children in South Africa and Honduras who need financial and educational support. Whether in academics, sports, creative arts, or design, we help children realize their potential and access opportunities to thrive.

Your donations directly contribute to:

• Paying school fees.

• Supporting extracurricular passions.

• Building the foundation for brighter futures in their communities.
