Gets the ball rolling
That is how small the first step is: a ball, a place in the team, an invitation.
What if a ball could change a life?

The problem
Some children are still standing there once the teams have been picked.
A lack of movement, barriers to education and weak social skills reinforce one another. In one Düsseldorf district, 27% of children live in poverty, against a city average of 18%. Only 23.7% go on to higher education, compared with 49.9% across Düsseldorf.
That is exactly what we are raising money for: we fund a Sport for Good Session there and take away the cost, the distance and the doubt that keep children off the pitch.
Figures from Germany
Education
1 in 4
children cannot read properly by the end of year four. Educational success still depends heavily on family background.
Movement
26%
of children reach the WHO target for daily physical activity. Health and concentration suffer with it.
Social
17%
of children show mental health concerns. Life skills are missing and there is more conflict in schools.
The three reinforce one another. The result: untapped potential and a widening social gap, a risk for society, democracy and the economy.

Who we are
Five MBA students, one season of sport.
We are Josia, Zhejun, Önay, Florian and Young, five MBA students at WHU. We bring together our values, perspectives and expertise to give children a season of sport.
As part of the Future Leaders Fundraising Challenge 2026 we are raising money in favor of Laureus Sport for Good. We are not writing a case study about it: every contribution ends up where it pays for training sessions, balls and a place in the team.
Transparency
You should know where your money goes.
We would rather tell you up front than have you ask afterwards.
