Stand For Grassroots Around the World
Gift of Kit is standing for grassroots globally and has joined with War Child United as an ambassador for every child’s freedom to play.
War Child United invites young people in conflict zones from around the world to design and advocate through specially designed football shirts. Standing for every child’s right to enjoy their childhood, have the freedom to play and live without war, these special shirts are raising vital funds and awareness for War Child, the only charity that is solely dedicated to children affected by conflict.
Why We're Supporting War Child UK
At Gift of Kit, we believe sport transcends borders, uniting communities and offering hope. Teaming up with War Child UK aligns with our commitment to grassroots sport, empowering children affected by conflict through play, education, and healing, ensuring no child is forgotten.
Zo Kwe Zo
War Child United empowers young people from conflict zones to advocate through uniquely designed football shirts, each inspired by the culture and resilience of their regions.
Gift of Kit is proud to raise awareness of this important project by supporting Zo Kwe Zo, ‘all people are people’, the first shirt hailing from the Central African Republic, one of the world’s ‘forgotten conflicts’. This shirt symbolises unity, equality, and peace.
By joining our giveaway, you help amplify voices from forgotten conflicts, raising awareness and vital funds.
