Free Health Check and Football Tournament in Amaimo

Onderwijs en wetenschap

Education and Science: our first project was the renovation of Amaimo Central School in October 2024, to give children a safe and decent place to learn.

Sports and Recreation: JobiSports FC Amaimo is our youth football programme for children aged 5 to 14. They train Tuesday to Friday, which gives them structure, discipline and a positive alternative to the streets.

Social and Community Objectives: we invest in basic facilities that improve daily life in Amaimo and give young people opportunities to grow.

Healthcare and Health: healthcare projects are planned for the next phase, such as access to basic care in the community.
Since 2022, the founder has funded every activity himself. Through FindNFund we want to scale up these programmes in a sustainable way.

Kwaliteit onderwijs

Geen armoede

Duurzame steden en gemeenschappen

Our main target group is children and young people in Amaimo, a rural community in Imo State, Nigeria. Many grow up in low-income households, with limited access to good education, safe facilities and positive activities outside school.
	•	Children (<12): pupils at Amaimo Central School benefit from a renovated, safe learning environment.
	•	Youth (<18): children aged 5 to 14 take part in JobiSports FC Amaimo, our youth football programme with training four days a week.
	•	Low-income households: families and the wider community benefit from improved facilities and, later, access to basic healthcare.

The event takes place in Amaimo, Ikeduru LGA, Imo State, Nigeria, where HJA Foundation has been active since 2022.

The project combines free health screening and medication (healthcare) with a football tournament (sports and recreation), bringing the Amaimo community together in one day.

The health screening is open to all community members, especially adults and seniors at risk of high blood pressure and diabetes. The football tournament involves youth and children. The event is free, so low-income households can take part.
