Barefoot But Brave: Help Equip Eagle Vision Soccer Team !!

In the heart of Congo, a group of 11 energetic young boys between the ages of 6 and 10 chase their dreams across a dusty soccer field. Their team, Eagle Vision, isn’t just about the game — it’s about teamwork, hope, and resilience. Despite having no proper equipment, these boys show up day after day, eager to play.

But here’s the reality:

They play barefoot.

Without proper shoes, socks, or shin pads, their small feet take a beating. Cuts, bruises, and injuries are far too common — yet their love for soccer never wavers. They are passionate, determined, and full of potential. What they lack in gear, they make up for in heart.

Among these dedicated players is Aristote Jr., the son of our own manager Aristote, along with two other boys from surrounding villages. These children aren’t asking for much — just the chance to play safely.

That’s where you can help.

We are collecting gently used or new soccer shoes (cleats), socks, and shin pads to support Eagle Vision. By donating, you’ll be helping protect their feet, encourage their talent, and boost their confidence.

We will be traveling to Congo this September and would love to surprise the team with these items in person. Your donation could be the gift that brings both joy and protection to a child who loves the game.

We’re looking for:

  • Soccer shoes/cleats (sizes for boys aged 6–10)

  • Athletic socks

  • Shin pads/guards

If you have items to give, please reach out to us at 7bpfoundation@gmail.com or message us through our Facebook page:

Let’s turn dreams into goals — thank you for your support!
