Petition created by: Michael Furdyk



This World Cup, TakingITGlobal is joining 1 GOAL to ask fans to sign up to give 75 million children a fair chance in life. Education beats Poverty – and gives people the tools to help themselves.


Global football stars, the football world and its governing body, FIFA, are behind 1GOAL. This World Cup is a moment for us to shine – let’s leave a legacy of education. We don’t want your money – we just want you on our team. Write Your Name for those who can’t. Join1GOAL.org

1GOAL is an ambitious and important campaign that will change the lives of children living in poverty by helping to give them an education. We’re campaigning in over 200 countries from now until the FIFA World Cup final in South Africa in 2010.

1GOAL is quite simply a global team that will voice our wishes to world leaders to keep their promise of giving everyone an education by 2015.

91 have signed so far - help us get to 100,000.


We have achieved 0.09% of our goal. Let's keep going!
