Charity founder Max Keens, left, is set to run to every Premier League stadium in England to fundraise for the construction of football pitches in Africa
The charity has helped to build two pitches to date, located in Kenya and Uganda, with the hope that Mr Keens’ challenge will help to fund the construction of the next four pitches on the continent.Mr Keens, who said each football pitch costs around £4,000 to £5,000 to build, told the PA news agency how the charity’s aim is to help the children who use the pitches with their future prospects.
Project Africa was founded in 2021 with the aim of building sustainable football pitches for communities across Africa “We were coaching the kids on very gravelly car parks, they were concrete football pitches. The kids didn’t care, they would slide tackle and everything,” he said.“The three of us stayed in touch and threw around ideas about having a foundation in Africa – but we wanted to do something different.
