Awer Mabil is collecting boots to take back to Kenya and distribute within the Kakuma Refugee Camp.
At the end of last season, Awer Mabil went back to visit the Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya where he wanted to make a difference.
Upon arrival he was overwhelmed and moved by the needs of thousands of kids in the camp who love football but have no equipment.
Adelaide’s own Awer Mabil, born and raised in the infamous Kakuma Refugee Camp, has won over the hearts of Reds’ fans.
Yet again, in the off-season, while most players will go on a holiday, travel, visit families or rest up, Awer along with and his older brother and Osama Malik, will chose to spend their time travelling to Kenya.
Awer is collecting second hand football boots to take back to Kenya in June. He along with Osama will visit the Kakuma Refugee Camp where the boots will be given to those less fortunate.
What can I donate?
- A pair of football boots (left and right boot tied together at the laces)

- Adelaide United Club Store (Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm)
- Adelaide United v Melbourne City (Saturday 25 April – Red Zone Marquee, Manton Street)
