President's Ball
President Rupiah Banda signs The Ball at State House in Lusaka

“We are very happy that young people thought of this idea of taking The Ball around Africa. It makes us all feel part of the game. Today was the worst day you could have come to State House. We have cancelled all of the things before and after your visit. All of my ministers are here with many things to do. But we thought that it was so important, that we must attend to this.”
– Rupiah Banda, President of Zambia

Donate a ball!

Donate a ball!

Pass the ball on! All footballs donated via Alive & Kicking's website before the 2010 World Cup went to Special Olympics programmes in sub-Saharan Africa. But you can still donate a ball to a good cause...
