Where Does My Donation Go?

Your donation to Kairo Link Foundation directly supports programs that remove barriers and create real opportunity for young people in Charlotte, NC and The Gambia. Funds are allocated to high-impact areas that address both immediate needs and long-term development.

In Charlotte, your support helps fund:

• Access to Play – High-level soccer opportunities for talented youth who cannot afford pay-to-play programs

• Partnerships with clubs like Queen City FC to place athletes in competitive environments where they can be seen by top college and elite programs

• Elite private training with experienced coaches and former professional players

• Next Step Pathways – guidance for life after high school, including college, trade school, workforce entry, and career planning

In The Gambia, your support helps fund:

• Marenah FC – elite football development combined with education accountability and life skills

• Hope on a Plate – nutrition support for children and families facing food insecurity

• Flow of Hope – clean water projects that serve entire communities through sustainable water access

• Education support including school fees, uniforms, and learning materials

Every dollar is used with intention—to provide access, stability, and pathways forward. While soccer is often the entry point, your donation goes far beyond the game by supporting education, health, and opportunity for children and families who need it most.
