Camino Youth Soccer Program
Charlotte, North Carolina, USA
2023
Ekipi made its first foray into supporting sports programs in the United States through a collaboration with the Camino Youth Soccer program in Charlotte, NC. This initiative aligns with Ekipi's mission to bring the joy of sports to underprivileged youth, extending our reach beyond our existing programs in Belize, Kenya, India, and Nepal.
The project involved:
- Supplying soccer cleats to team players
- Providing goalkeeper gloves to enhance training and performance
This engagement was made possible through the invitation of Tim Hagler, Chief Public Affairs Officer at Camino. Chayo Martinez and Coach Sam played crucial roles in facilitating the collaboration and distribution of sports equipment.
While this was a small, one-time contribution, it marked a milestone for Ekipi in contributing to an underprivileged community within the United States.
