By Wilda’s Global Sport Limited’s philanthropic nature, they are into empowerment of people, basically, most times when they take a look at some people, especially the local areas, they find out that there are a lot of people out there that are not buoyant financially to help players or the youths generally.
But, they try as much as possible to go there. They visit some villages, donate some boots, and donate some jerseys, wares. Then they support in feeding just to make sure that the environment is “OK” and conducive enough for these youths to actually bring out the potential in them.
Dr Williams called on interested persons to partner with Wilda’s Global And Sport Limited, as they will be willing and also surrender themselves to work with the people at the top in government and other sporting directors and team managers, and they are always ready to assist them when it comes to traveling and getting a club.
