Steven Bwalya,

AOTB Player Coach

“Through Africa On The Ball I was able to complete the FAZ E License coaching course. My dream is to make a lasting contribution to Zambian football by mentoring the next generation of players, and one day standing among top coaches in the Premier League” 

Gertrude Mbewe 

AOTB Volunteer

“I’m really grateful for everything you’ve done for me, even when I was at my lowest you showed me I could be more than what others say I am. I graduated in General Hospitality last year, and my dream is to open my own bakery which I hope to name ‘Trudy’s Bakery’

James Banda,

“I am proud of AOTB because AOTB has brought programmes that have improved the lives of the people and the community at large. AOTB is innovative”
