Play It Forward

Play It Forward Zambia (PFZ) is a sports for development non-governmental organisation that was established in 2017. Its establishment was stimulated by the passion of young talented players in remote communities of Livingstone who spent their time playing football. Most of these players were orphans and vulnerable young people who had not been given an opportunity in life. They played on a dirty pitch and sometimes in the street. It was from this insight that Attraction Ticket Direct (ATD) Foundation and Livingstone Youth Football Academy partnered to form a new body they called Play It Forward to help these young players improve their skill. Play It Forward is aimed at giving young boys and girls the power to fully utilize their potential through football. It takes youths on a powerful journey from scoring goals to achieving life goals.PFZ works with volunteers and youths around Livingstone as well as across the country. They provide opportunities through football which they use as a tool for social development and to bring communities together. The organization transforms the lives of vulnerable young boys and girls by creating a pathway out of poverty.
