FACE Africa is hosting its 3rd Annual Goals for Water: Charity Soccer Match in New York City on Saturday October 1, 2016 at 11a.m. on Randall’s Island Sunken Garden Field 90.
The soccer game will raise awareness and funds to build a Water Tower Project on the Monrovia Football Academy Campus.
FACE Africa was born from the ashes of the Liberian civil war, out of a need to help others reclaim the means to build a better life and prosper.
FACE Africa realized that the lack of readily available water in Liberia was impacting their ability to make a difference on the ground.
“Unsafe water severely inhibits the economic growth of a country because time that could be better used towards producing goods for sale is unavailable due to illness or fetching water from contaminated water sources located miles away. In Africa alone, people spend over 40 billion hours every year, walking for water. Poverty is directly related to the accessibility of clean drinking water- without it, the chances of breaking out of the poverty trap are extremely slim.”
