Claudia Doron-Zahner (grad. 1995)<br />
is involved in humanitarian activities. In<br />
line with the nonprofit foundation, Rivers<br />
of Hope, Claudia, her team and sponsors<br />
support the project ‘CIPERFOOT<br />
– football is more than just a game’.<br />
They opened a football school in Sanga<br />
Mamba, a suburb of Kinshasa, the<br />
capital of the Democratic Republic of<br />
Congo. In Sanga Mamba, approximately<br />
500,000 people are thought to live<br />
in slum conditions where even basic<br />
needs like drinking water and electri city<br />
are barely met. Most children do not<br />
have the opportunity to attend school<br />
so CIPERFOOT aims to get them off the<br />
streets and offers an education that<br />
they would otherwise not receive and<br />
possibilities for a future. Via football,<br />
children experience social integration,<br />
learn about health and hygiene as well<br />
as qualities like respect, tolerance and<br />
how to deal with anger, frustration and<br />
violence. We take advantage of the special<br />
power of football, to give children a<br />
chance to find happiness, discover their<br />
hidden talents, and for a few hours, forget<br />
the tough reality in which they live.<br />
