From Us With Love
From Us With Love, the non-profit organization that was behind the making of Streetball.
“South Africa has more than 1,000 children that are being orphaned daily with a current estimate of 1 million children orphaned and made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS. This will increase to approximately 2 million by 2010 and in Africa, to over 40 million.” (ABB South Africa)
From Us With Love
From Us With Love (FUWL) became aware of street soccer and the Homeless World Cup, an international event for the sport, during the summer of 2007 in South Africa. They learned that entrance can’t be gained into the lives of people who live on the streets as easily with knowledge and wisdom as with a soccer ball. FUWL wanted to share the excitement of the sport and the triumphs and tragedies of those who play it. From Us With Love proudly presents Streetball, a documentary film following the 2008/2009 South African Homeless World Cup teams.
FUWL is a registered 501 c3 Public Charity in the United States and a registered Public Benefit Organization (PBO) in South Africa. FUWL works closely with other organizations that serve the needs of impoverished South Africans in order to provide the most effective aid possible.
One of the projects FUWL sponsors is South Africa’s Homeless World Cup street soccer league. FUWL believed the stories of the players in the league were significant and believed that sharing them through a documentary is a powerful way to spread the word about homelessness and the plight of many South African youth.
FUWL recognizes the basic worth of every person – that we are all more alike than we are different, and that we all deserve care and support. FUWL operates out of the belief that we are part of a very interconnected world, and improving viability for communities anywhere strengthens human viability everywhere. Also, by focusing on improving education, health services, good nutrition, cultural arts, sports and voluntourism opportunities, FUWL invests in a brighter future for humanity.
