Homeless World Cup expands

July 10 2009
Vodafone Foundation funding helps pay for a CEO and other staff Funds from the Vodafone Foundation have helped create six new roles at the Homeless World Cup, including a chief executive, international development director and fundraising managers. Mel Young, co-founder and president of the Homeless World Cup, said he hoped this would help his organisation effect real lasting change. "What the world needs now, in the current climate, is the emergence of new leaders and new entrepreneurs with a completely new set of values," he added. "These people are scattered throughout our partner organisations. We now want to fulfil this potential and build a powerful grassroots movement using football to change the world." The first Homeless World Cup took place in 2003 and aimed to develop grassroots football projects in more than 75 countries. More than two-thirds of the players are recovering drug or alcohol addicts. Founders hope to reach one million people who are homeless with the benefits of football.
