One World Futbol: Get A Soccer Ball, Give One Too

Gift-giving for older kids often involves sporting goods. It’s an easy and quick idea for the active child.

What if you could actually help underprivileged children in third-world countries every time you bought a piece of sporting equipment for your own child or a friend?

Well, that’s the inspiration behind One World Futbol.

One World is a charitable organization that has created an ultra-durable soccer ball that works in any type of terrain. It never goes flat. It never loses its bounces. It never needs inflating. It never needs a pump and needle. Seriously.

But why would a charitable organization create a soccer ball, of all things? Because sport is one thing that can bring children joy, regardless of financial or life circumstance. Soccer is a wildly popular worldwide sport. Kids ask for soccer balls when they lose their homes due to natural disaster.

The problem was getting soccer balls to needy kids…and getting those soccer balls to be durable enough to not require expense or maintenance.

One World created this ball with that sort of durability in mind because let’s face it: underprivileged people do not have the means to maintain something even as simple as a soccer ball. Their living conditions are harsh and hard on sporting equipment.

One World gets soccer balls to the kids that need them by doing a Get One, Give One deal.  When you buy one of these One World balls, One World donates a second ball to an organization that works with needy people somewhere in the world.

Awesome idea. One World partners with many different organizations that help distribute the balls that are donated.

And for $39.50, your kid gets a ball that you’ll never find shriveled and useless in the corner of your garage. Now that’s a win-win if I’ve ever seen one.
