Volunteers Witness Impact through Sports in Nigeria

Samaritan’s Feet, in partnership with the Nigerian Youth Volleyball Mission, aims to empower children, teenagers, and young adults by providing them with opportunities in sports. This initiative offers a pathway out of slums, poverty, and limited advancement opportunities. Recently, several donors who contributed shoes and other items had the chance to travel to Nigeria. They visited with the teams and coaches, and even assisted with a local tournament. Read a volunteer's inspiring account and view photos from the trip below.

“During our last two days during the tournaments was where I felt very impacted. I coached a U13 boys team on Saturday and three of the players were wearing my old shoes [that I had previously donated]. It made me look at life from a whole new perspective. I just gave away three pairs of shoes from the past year and to these boys, the hand-me-downs meant so much more.”
