Champions for Children is a not-for-profit organisation, founded by Clarence Seedorf in December 2005.

“Witnessing the famine that strangled Ethiopia in the nineteen- eighties, when I was just a child, had a profound effect on me and sparked my desire to give and literally shaped my destiny. With this experience as a catalyst and seeing all the suffering around the  globe, I made a vow in my youth to help hurting people and make a contribution to my world in as many ways as I could. Improving the quality of life through health and  education is my vision which I am pleased to share with you. Allow me to tell you more about my mission”.                                        Clarence Seedorf


Champions for Children recognizes the fundamental rights of children and aims to give children in developing countries or young people affected by natural disasters, wars and epidemics, a chance to realize with dignity their full potential.
The foundation supports and develops projects that improve children’s access to education and sports. Champions for Children believes in the potential of sports for child development. Sports activities are a “school of life” where children cannot only improve motor skills, but also develop socially as they learn how to measure up against the rules, to face defeats and how to relate to others.
