Today, 72 million children around the world are denied the chance to go to school!!
1GOAL is a campaign seizing the power of football to ensure that education for all is a lasting impact of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. By bringing together footballers and fans, charities and organisations around the world, together FIFA call on world leaders to make education a reality for 72 million children by 2015. These children could be the NEXT generation’s leaders, sport stars, doctors and teachers. But without an education they are confined to a life of poverty.
Hundreds of footballers, celebrities and world leaders have pledged their support for 1GOAL. Grammy Award-winning artist and philanthropist Shakira has become a 1GOAL ambassador so as th Famous footballers Robinjo, Essian, Rio Ferdinand and more. Earlier, IPL franchise MUmbai Indians announced such a programme during the 3rd edition of IPL. Let's hope it will bring a change.
