Mission Statement

Transforming Lives Through Love And Football

About This Cause

My Angels Academy is a nonprofit organization devoted to empowering underprivileged children, a role it has embraced for over three decades with the aid of love and football. The foundation, initiated by Sylvester at 13, has been a source of transformation, turning the lives of children who have faced challenging circumstances, such as being rag-pickers, petty thieves, or drug addicts, into journeys of dignity, honesty, and respect. Serving over 300 children across 3 centers in Delhi and 5 in Odisha, the Academy reaches out to those from slums, homeless communities, tribal areas, and refugee groups from Burma and Afghanistan. These children, fondly referred to as "Angels," are nurtured with a diverse curriculum that extends beyond football. The program includes exposure to nature, Karma Yoga (the practice of selfless service), education in English and computers, yoga, meditation, dance, theatre, and painting. Football, central to the curriculum, is employed as a tool for teaching teamwork and managing emotions in real-life scenarios. The Academy's approach is holistic, focusing on moral education and life skills to mitigate issues like drug abuse, violence, and robbery prevalent in their communities. This nurturing environment seeks to disrupt the cycle of poverty and open pathways to a more prosperous life. Despite operating in rented spaces in Delhi and a recently established center in Odisha, My Angels Academy has successfully implemented a 'Pay it Forward Model.' This model encourages senior students, or "Senior Angels," to volunteer, promoting a culture of community contribution. In essence, My Angels Academy equips each "Angel" to become not only self-reliant but also a compassionate, responsible citizen. The Academy’s dedication to changing lives through love and football is an inspiring narrative of hope, resilience, and empowerment.
