The mission of the Pittsburgh-based Cameroon Football Development Program (CFDP) is to "use the game of football (soccer) to improve kids’ lives in Cameroon. Transforming the soccer field into a classroom creates an environment for experiential education where youth are free to learn and grow. This sport-centric approach has been proven to retain high youth participation and effect meaningful community-wide change."
