Back home the students attend the Nangala Project’s John Moriarty Football (JMF) program, which uses sport as a vehicle for positive change. Through football the children gain access to educational opportunities and a healthier future. With the support of warm, loving host families, who have room in their hearts and their homes, these talented Indigenous children can fulfill their dreams.

JMF is a football engagement program for six- to 16-year-old boys and girls and was co-founded by John Moriarty, the first Aboriginal Australian selected to play soccer for Australia, and his son, James Moriarty. JMF will pay the host family $300 per week to cover food and board.
