Ebeneza Emanuel Mmbaga

SUPPORT EBENEZA

Ebeneza is 12 years old and comes from Arusha where he lives in the city centre on Simon Street. He has just finished primary school at Mkombozi Primary School and will therefore start form one from 2025.

Ebeneza only has his mother, Lightness, who looks after him and his little sister Faithful. Here she works as a waitress at the Kiwango restaurant in Arusha.

Ebenezer is a very hard-working boy, who with his courage and good energy always gives it a shot on the football field as well as at school. Here he looks up to the Brazilian legend Pelé, who according to him is the best player in history. However, Ebenezer is a little further back on the field, where he either plays winger or defense.

Before joining Young Boys Academy in October 2024, he played for the club Young Life in Arusha.

In school, math is Ebenezer's best subject, and if he doesn't become a football player, which is his biggest dream, he dreams of becoming a doctor or an accountant.

Help us ensure Ebenezer's 'two chances' to become a Tanzanian role model. Either with football - or education - as a platform. When you sponsor Ebenezer, you sponsor the entire academy.

By supporting one of the academy boys, you and your family automatically become members of the association. Read more about your membership below.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart
