Kabba Fanta

In the bustling streets of the Republic of Sierra Leone, a member of Sports Life Global had a chance encounter with Kabba Abdulai Fanta. The poignant sight of Fanta walking barefooted on the street prompted the Sports Life Global representative to inquire about his circumstances.


Fanta, with tears in his eyes, revealed a heart-wrenching story. He had been forced to leave school due to financial constraints. His parents, grappling with extreme poverty, couldn't afford to pay for his education. The dire situation extended beyond academics; Fanta's family had been evicted from their home due to inability to pay the monthly rent, and even affording food had become a luxury.
In a desperate quest for survival, Fanta had sought refuge at a friend's parent's house, solely to secure a meal. The emotional toll of these challenges weighed heavily on Fanta as he shared his story with the compassionate Sports Life Global member.


Deeply moved by Fanta's plight, the Sports Life Global representative took swift action. They decided to bring Fanta's story to the attention of Sports Life Global, a program committed to making a positive impact on the lives of individuals through sports and education. The organization, recognizing the urgent need for intervention, reached out to Kabba Fanta's parents.

In the heart of Abuja, Nigeria, a member of Sports Life Global encountered a young man named James Emmanuel Obi. Strikingly, Obi was walking barefooted on the streets of Abuja, prompting the Sports Life Global representative to inquire about his circumstances.


Emmanuel James Obi, with a heavy heart, shared a compelling story of adversity. He had been forced out of school for an extended period due to the inability to pay for tuition, and his parents were unable to afford the cost of education for him and his siblings. The family's financial struggles had escalated to the point of eviction from their home, leaving them destitute and unable to even afford basic necessities like food. Emmanuel revealed that the dire situation had led him to part ways with his parents, seeking refuge with a friend's family just to ensure he could have a meal. The gravity of his family's predicament was evident as he recounted that his parents had to relocate to an unfinished house in the village, enduring the harsh conditions of rain without proper shelter. Emmanuel expressed deep sorrow, noting that he hadn't seen his family in over three years since leaving them for survival.


Touched by Emmanuel James Obi's poignant story, the Sports Life Global member felt compelled to take action. They promptly informed the Sports Life Global Program about Emmanuel's situation. In response, Sports Life Global initiated a comprehensive research effort to locate Emmanuel's parents and understand the family's needs.
 

The outreach to Emmanuel James Obi's parents brought forth an overwhelming sense of gratitude and relief. Sports Life Global, true to its mission, extended a helping hand to Emmanuel by offering him the opportunity to further his education in the United States of America at Victory Christian Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. The transformative impact of Sports Life Global reached far beyond a mere educational
opportunity. It became a lifeline for Emmanuel James Obi, reuniting him with hope, family, and the prospect of a brighter future. Emmanuel's journey from the streets of Abuja
 to an educational opportunity in the United States exemplifies the impact of collective efforts to uplift those in need.

 

These interventions have showcased the profound influence organizations like Sports Life Global can have on the lives of individuals facing immense
challenges, proving that education and compassion can be powerful catalysts for positive change. Sports Life Global has emerged as a beacon of hope, demonstrating the ripple effect that a commitment to education and empowerment can have on the lives of individuals and their families.
