Who we are:


Our foundation embraces the power of sport and education as transformation tools for underprivileged children in Africa and Asia. These children are often born into circumstances that limit their chances of a promising future. They have as many dreams, hopes and aspirations as any other child. Through our foundation, we can offer them a helping hand in the hope of preserving and cherishing a better future. Every child deserves respect and dignity; we see underprivileged children as influential individuals with untapped potential. Our foundation is there to support them in realising their dreams and goals. Sport and education are the keys to change and progress; they enable children to gain knowledge and skills that allow them to create opportunities. A deep–rooted conviction in the power of compassion and solidarity drives our commitment. Our mission transcends borders and cultural differences. We are part of a global community that works together to improve the lives of these children. This sense of solidarity and collaboration inspires and gives our work meaning. Our foundation aims to be a bright spot in the lives of underprivileged children in Africa and Asia and to help them build a hopeful future. Together, we can make a difference and inspire others to do the same.

What we do

Collective Minds is committed to the holistic development of underprivileged children in Africa and Asia through sport and education. We offer these children access to educational and sports programs to promote the physical and intellectual development of these children. We can carry out these programs with an enthusiastic team of sports coaches, teachers, psychologists, and the local NGO.

These programs focus on improving their physical and mental health, developing essential life skills, and addressing local challenges such as poverty, inequality, and lack of opportunities. With these goals, we want to create possibilities for a better future. By bringing sport and education together, they can have a positive and lasting impact on the lives of these children. Together, we build confident, hopeful, and resilient children who positively impact their communities and the world.

The Programs
Sports Development: Football
By setting up a three–year football programme with life skills, we offer children aged 10–16 years help in football skills, essential life skills and mental support. In collaboration with a local football academy, we organise coaching programs and implement this program. In addition to the weekly training, a competition is played, and various events are organised in which parents and the entire community are involved. The mental health program given by a psychologist is integrated into the football program.

Education: Digital Literacy and English
This program aims to provide access to digital learning resources and skills for the children to further their educational and personal development. The digital education program empowers children with fundamental digital skills, computer programs, digital tools, internet use, online safety, media literacy, and technologies. These classes are taught in the community with the local non–profit organisation.
English: lingua franca, the language of empowerment
The English classes are taught online by an English teacher from South Africa. The lessons also focus on cultural differences, living in another country, and why English is essential. These lessons are given to children participating in sports and educational programs.
Impact:
This holistic approach offers a structured, sportive, inspiring physical and personal development journey. The combination of football training, coach training, life skills, mental wellness programs, and educational activities can help children grow on both a sporting and personal level. These skills open doors to better educational and employment opportunities. Increasing self–confidence, strengthened community bonds, and a broader horizon of possibilities. It is essential to find a balance between the physical and mental aspects of the program. It is important to us to create a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment for children. They will be ready to achieve success not only on the football field but also in their personal lives.
The project lays the foundation for a lifelong love of sports, teamwork, education, and selfdevelopment.
