If you're buying a football this Christmas...

... you could do worse than buy this one.

One World Futbol is a project that manufactured a durable football that can survive broken glass, being run over and more without puncturing. It is designed for use in even the toughest conditions in the developing world and hopes to spread peace to troubled regions through football. The ball is also manufactured without resort to child labour.

If you buy one, one is automatically donated to a worthy community somewhere in the world.

PS Mods, hope this is okay here. Just found it when researching presents for my nieces and nephews and thought a few more might find it interesting.

For what it's worth, I've come across this charity before in a couple of case studies (I work for a charity) before seeing it again when thinking about presents.

They're also up for an award in the Peace and Sport Awards that were set up under the patronage of Prince Albert of Monaco.

Nothing's ever guaranteed, and I presume you're more concerned about their payment processing than anything else, but it seems to have excellent credentials.

Only one football a kid needs; a Derby one. :cool:

+1 for the Derby football

My football of choice whenever I bought one

But yes, this seems a good idea and well done to all, thanks for posting OP

starving children being sold into slavery by their equally starving parents is always preferable to child labour. I'll buy ten.
