Kicking Poverty, Scoring Dreams

Slum Football Foundation is a registered non-profit organization in Delhi, India, dedicated to transforming the lives of underprivileged children and youth through the power of football, education, and life skills training.

About Slum Football Foundation

Officially registered as a Section 8 (Non-Profit) Company under the Companies Act, 2013. Corporate Identity Number (CIN): U85300DL2022NPL404650.

Our Mission & Vision

Founded in 2022, the Slum Football Foundation (SFF) operates with the core belief that football is more than just a game. It is a powerful tool for social cohesion, personal development, and community empowerment. We focus on children and adolescents living in slums and underserved urban areas across India, particularly in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR).

Our mission is to use football as a hook to engage at-risk youth, providing them with a safe space, positive mentorship, and access to educational support, health awareness, and vocational training. We envision a future where every child, regardless of their socioeconomic background, has the opportunity to realize their full potential.

The foundation's legal status as a Section 8 company ensures that all profits and donations are reinvested into our charitable objectives. Our operations are governed by a dedicated Board of Directors, and we maintain full transparency in our financial and programmatic reporting.
