Riverheights Logo

 

The Riverheights Football Academy is a football and education project for more than 150 children and youth, aged between 7 and 19, located at the Goreangab informal settlement area in Windhoek.  Goreangab is one of the poorest suburbs in Windhoek.  Many people living in the area have no access to proper housing, running water, toilets and electricity.  There are no proper or adequate sport and recreational facilities available to the community living at Goreangab.
