Our community actions
The Academy supports and encourages causes that primarily help the development and well-being of children.
01
Smile in a box
As part of our double AFF project, we also want to raise awareness among young people.
We therefore chose for our first community action to collaborate with the NGO @smileinaboxlb .
The Christmas period 🎄 is even more magical for a child when he receives gifts 🎁.
It is therefore with great generosity that the players and their families filled the boxes given by @smileinaboxlb , in order to be able to offer them to children and thus give them a reason to smile at Christmas.
Thanks to @smileinaboxlb , to all players and parents for their help in this solidarity action.

Father Robert school
As part of our double AFF project, we also want to raise awareness among young people.
We have therefore chosen for our second community action to collaborate with the Père Robert School for the deaf and dumb.
AFF therefore placed an order for a personalized mask in the colors of the academy in order to offer all players registered with AFF a mask to allow them to protect themselves with the colors of the club.
Thanks to Père Robert school, who will use the funds raised to improve the daily lives of children with disabilities.
03
On the ball
As part of our double AFF project, we want to raise awareness among young people.
We therefore chose for our first educational action to collaborate with On The Ball .
The times we live in are extraordinary, so we want to make sure that young people have the skills and knowledge to live it well.
It is therefore with great involvement that the players and their families received the Solidarity Barrier Gestures Quiz created by On the ball , in order to be able to test their knowledge on what to do to protect themselves and others against the covid 19.
Thanks to On The Ball , to all the players and to the parents for their help in this educational endeavor.

Ball design contest
The main objective of this project is to have our players design AFF academy balls that we would like to use during our training sessions, but also to distribute to Dan families who suffered from the Beirut explosion and yet more in great need through the One ball One family project ;
Find below the phases we followed:
- Phase 1: Launch of the design competition among players, relatives or those who wish to participate allowing them to use their creativity in the design of the balloons.
- Phase 2: The 3 best selected designs will be put to a vote within the AFF administration committee to select the best design.
- Phase 3: will consist of putting the selected design on the fundahope financing platform in order to raise enough funds to order at least 50 balloons (any member can participate with what he can 1-5 $).
Here is the link: https://fundahope.com/campaigns/work-education-and-sport-in-kenya-lebanon
We will collaborate with an NGO called Alive & Kicking to manufacture the balls (handmade and FIFA certified ball) in Kenya.
This program will provide jobs, money and a sports program to people in need in Kenya and other African countries.
The additional balloons will be distributed among families and communities in need in Lebanon.
It will hopefully be part of our community program every year.
