In June 2024, Pure Gift CBO organized a football match between Kapua FC and Power Thunder FC, two local youth teams, with the goal of bringing generations together to support the elderly. The event, held in Kapua village, was more than just a game; it was a celebration of unity and care for the community’s most vulnerable.

As the youth played with energy and passion, the elderly watched from the sidelines, deeply engaged in the lively atmosphere. After the match, both teams spent time with the elderly, sharing stories, laughter, and meals. The event created an emotional connection between the young and old, promoting mental well-being and offering the elderly a renewed sense of inclusion and care. This event beautifully demonstrated how sports can be a powerful tool for bridging generations and supporting the elderly’s psychosocial health, leaving a lasting impact on everyone involved.
