Goal4Africa to seek better future for all African nations
The idea behind Goal4Africa is simple but powerful. Inspired by two major events: Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday, on 18 July 2008, and the FIFA World Cup in South Africa, in 2010. Goal4Africa is all about building a legacy for the future of Africa by bringing together two great forces, Education and Football.
Nelson Mandela 90th birthday was chosen as one of the inspiration behind this campaign because he has devoted his life to promoting freedom and civil society in Africa through social development and schooling with his motto “Education 4 All, All 4 Education”.
Goal4Africa is trying to create a global awareness to raise funds for educational and development programmes, and to promote the development of football, throughout the African continent.
In a wider sense, the campaign also want to contribute to an African Legacy Programme that promote peacebuilding and nation-building, help to alleviate poverty, and support economic development and opportunities.
Goal4Africa firmly supports the United Nations’ Millennium Goals for 2015; specifically committed to leaving an enduring positive effect on the whole African continent.
The possibilities are endless. It’s all about the thrill of the game – and the commitment to build a better future for Africa’s children. Through Goal4Africa, it is just a small and simple step to go from the excitement of scoring in a football match to achieving their shared goals for making a better world.

The gials as quoted above sound very noble and need to be applauded. They do however not provide many details though. Just who is it that they are planning to help and how are they going to do it?
Maybe it is just because I am an African myself that I am wary of things like this. So regularly we have seen schemes that are supposed to help Africa just to find that it all comes to nothing, or even worse, that it was just a scam to start off with.
The idea is great but I would need a lot more information than what their site provides. I would hope that I am wrong in this instance but I personally stay a skeptic.

I do really support this movement. I myself admired President Mandela for what he’s been doing to his country and spread this spirit throughout Africa continent. What I see here is that other African countries must see and adopt what Mandella’s way to unite themself in a tightly bond. Viva Africa!
