Welcome to the Chris Campbell Center website. This site is dedicated to all groups dedicated to working with the people of Site B Khayelitsha, South Africa.

The Campbell Center started off with a lighted tiger-turf soccer field located beside the Ikhusi Primary School. It has grown to include a classsroom, bathrooms and office space. We are dedicated to using the global reach of the sport of soccer to give educational opportunities to both the people of Khayelitsha and to U.S. College students interested in studying abroad in the Cape Town region.

Our focus is singular in developing the Site B community. We are open to all groups and organizations who share our interest in building relationships with these people.

To date our focus has been on finding creative ways to use soccer to benefit the community. We have run crime prevention and gender equity soccer tournaments; we have taught HIV/AIDS prevention to teenagers and business skills to young adults. Small businesses are emerging from the local community, using the Campbell facility to generate income.

In the future, we dream of opening the facility to American College students who are interested in applying their business and pre-med skills to working with these people. Franklin & Marshall College's Ware Institute for Civic Engagement is leading this initiative and currently creating the F&M in Cape Town program.

We also are working with the business community in Lancaster opening philanthropic opportunities. Lancaster based Soccer Shots is creating a program to directly fund our partners whom are working at the field. The powerful Lancaster Rotary is also getting involved and is considering sending a team of medical professionals to the Campbell Facility.

None of this could have been done without the unbelievable work of the CTCTen foundation. Based out of mainline Philadelphia, the Foundation was created with one objective, build the Chris Campbell Field and Education Center. This group was born out of the tragic passing of Chris Campbell, an F&M soccer star who passed away the day before his senior soccer season. The Campbell Foundation was formed out of Chris's family and their close friends. Out of that tragedy, the miracle that is the Campbell Center has sprung.
