AC Milan helps orphans in Nairobi slums

Rossoneri Foundation with the NGO Alice for Children

22-10-2020 by redazione

A shelter for 24 slum orphans from Korogocho and Dandora, two of the most populated and troubled in the capital of Kenya, and a support programme linked to the Covid-19 emergency.
This is the help that the Foundation of the Italian football team AC Milan has decided to give to Kenya since last May, thanks to the collaboration with the NGO Alice For Children, which for 14 years has been supporting two schools hosting more than two thousand children in the slums of Nairobi.
The non-profit organization of the Rossoneri team, which in 2020 had already decided to support an Alice for Children project dedicated to social inclusion through sport, has decided to convert the activity into support for the prevention plan, now more necessary than ever for the Covid-19 emergency, becoming the main donor of the initiative.
Alice for Children launched the Coronavirus Prevention Plan in recent days, with the aim of subjecting the 2,000 children involved to specific visits, thanks to the presence of a team made up of a nurse from the local slum emergency room, a social worker and one of the school teachers.
This was followed by the construction of a new house for 24 children without parents in the suburb of Utawalla, where Alice For Chidren already has 76 orphans, which will become 100.
AC Milan also supports the children with food aid packages, with about 1,000 children from the Alice for Children programme visited by the team of health workers and teachers. The Secretary General of the Milan Foundation, Rocco Giorgianni, was pleased to enter into another partnership with Alice for Children.
Last June, the first African slums football championship was also organised, a 16 team tournament involving youngsters from 10 to 14 years old from Mathare, Korogocho, Kibera, Dandora and other disadvantaged neighbourhoods and giving young people the opportunity to meet and get to know each other as well as to compete and have fun.
"The children of the "Prevention plan" - you can read on the website of the Milan Foundation - in these days have made many drawings to thank our donors for their support: they are a sign of gratitude and friendship that push us to continue to support this project which was originally intended to be sports-oriented (part of the Sport for Change programme) but which, due to the emergency, has become a concrete support to daily life for over 2,000 children".
