Play for a Purpose: Empowering the Next Generation.
The Amadou Haidara Fondation is dedicated to uplifting communities in Mali through health, sports, and education. Founded by professional footballer Amadou Haidara, the foundation aims to create lasting change by supporting initiatives that empower children and families to lead healthier and more fulfilling lives.
Especially in our football camps, boys and girls have the chance to discover team spirit and cohesion through sport. We help the kids to become strong together and perhaps even make a living from their sport.
