CSR Initiative –
TYFCA, Football and Social Development (Kigoma)
“Improving personal development and future prospects through football for children and youth in the humble neighborhood of Kamala (Kigoma, Tanzania)”
TYFCA (Tanganyika Youth Football Club Academy) is a local project that Samir and Sadali, two brothers footballers, start up in 2020, to provide to their community with a youth soccer school and a stable team, in order to be able to solve to the lack of access to quality sports activities, to promote the benefits of sport, and to detect and promote talent among the children of Kamala neighborhood with the idea of combining social development and football.
In Kamala neighborhood, one of the underprivileged in Kigoma, children and young people have few prospects for the future due to the context where they live. The dream of becoming footballers and being able to get out of the spiral of poverty in which they are, is a constant in the lives of many children in developing countries. Proof of this are the hundreds of community organizations that are dedicated to carrying out social projects through football around the world.
Currently, TYFCA trains 30+ children and young people between 10 and 18 years old, on a piece of land in Kamala community donated by the municipality, but it still needs to be equipped and conditioned, and it also does not have the resources to offer the children training and adequate and quality physical education, nor the possibility that they can compete on a regular basis and thus improve their competitive capacity and be able to promote themselves and in the future, even become professional.
In the heart of Kigoma, where the spirit of determination runs as deep as Lake Tanganyika itself, young dreams are rising. Dreams of discipline. Dreams of teamwork. Dreams of becoming champions — not only on the field, but in life.
At Tradeland Commodities Limited, we believe that great futures begin with opportunity. That is why we are proud to stand beside TYFCA — the Tanganyika Youth Football Club Academy, a beacon of hope and talent for children and teenagers across Kigoma.
For many young players, TYFCA is more than a football academy.
- It is a safe space.
- A classroom.
- A mentorship hub.
- A family.
Through our CSR initiative, we aim to strengthen this foundation — providing essential training equipment, uniforms, educational support, and improved facilities that help every child walk onto the pitch with confidence and dignity.
Because when a child laces their boots… they are not just preparing for a game.
They are preparing for the world.
Our commitment is simple:
- To empower youth.
- To nurture talent.
- To open doors that once seemed impossible.
Together with TYFCA, we are building a future where every young player from Kigoma can dream boldly… and chase those dreams with courage.
Tradeland Commodities Limited — empowering communities, inspiring futures, and creating champions one child at a time.
