much work can really get. we still have time to an ongoing. success. that subscribes. to the business of the ever. before. becoming a pro footballer in europe with john almost childhood dream while he has made it thousands of young people come here from africa every year with the same dream. you
2:17 pm
have like 6000 kids coming from i've got. out of this 6 kids i can tell you maybe 4 or 5 would make it what a more diverse. there are no more you know much going on. i am a father of 2. and i also have a husband to a lovely one. philanthropist. i have a fondness for him back home in kenya where i grew up. i tried to help the kids to get what you need to give them hope. but they live in. so what's it like to be one of the few african footballers who make it in your heart of them all is one of 2006 africans currently playing abroad the kenya international left his home in 2007 but he hasn't forgotten where he came from. he has the
2:18 pm
same urge to give something back to the community as african superstars like didier drogba. summer eto. and sunday or monday who became role models for every young african football. it was never easy for johanna the place he grew up in still haunts him today. than dora is in eastern suburb of nairobi it's known for being the biggest dump site in kenya. and pretty difficult place i live pretty close to the dump site walking distance of 3 minutes so it was really raining because i understand sheets unbearable you cannot stand. unfortunately you have poverty you know a lot of families need and that's the $1.00 right and that means education so the
2:19 pm
only thing was more. quiet. because i stuck to football. has been living in europe since 2007. his 2 kids were born here in belgium and they called the country home. just one example of how much has changed since you arrived in europe. from all those turned up to 5 clubs in belgium most recently spent 4 years with the small of the to bruges based 1st division clubs. keep it in why didn't i be a place like this. now. you can come from training and just pick up. whatever you choose you know and going there you cannot we played with the
2:20 pm
beginning one where no issues with the boys you know. the boys the. boys. used. and it was just fun just to distract from everything that's going on around you it was. an escape. all the trashiest from all over they'd all be you know everyone. you know. we. just go next to me so we used plastic bags from the garbage to make. my friends you know. trying to. get things so. it became part of
2:21 pm
our lives. there's a saying in kenya nothing good comes from dunder. what worries johanna is that kids like alice sundra are still facing the same problems a bit he faced as a youngster 20 years ago. my journey had you know life is hard in the ghetto sometimes you go without food you get used to it sometimes you watch somebody get mugged they just want to feed their families therefore life here is very hard many have left football for crime we have buried a lot of them and life goes on. johanna's parents don't live in dan door anymore with his help they were able to
2:22 pm
move to a wealthier safer part of nairobi. his parents were initially skeptical that football could provide a stable career when he was 13 his mother stopped him from going to norway for trials 2 years later he went and gave the money he earned to his mom. when he brought me the money i realized that even football can be beneficial. his father had retired but i was still cutting people's here for money. but by this time johanna had already entered the football academy of a belgian agent in kenya and aged 17 he signed his 1st contract in europe. grows. so we're never. we're never. given. it's.
2:23 pm
been 2017 johannah decided to do something for his community he set up his own foundation just 300 yards away from the dump site he established a soccer academy. got asunder and teddy are enroll their 2 kids who dream of following in johanna's footsteps and becoming professional footballers. i would want to play in the english premier league league or all syria as long as i'm able to help the people back in the ghetto and get them out of the state they're in. alice sandro and 6 other kids have a scholarship from the johanna foundation this is where they go to hone their skills. compared to europe there are not enough quality academies here for players in the decisive age bracket between 12 and 16. our main objective is to
2:24 pm
level up. in kenya. and locally if going to have a very competitive league not only your success when you go to. so these young kids what the impact to them they can be poor here in kenya. andrew juma is an example of a former academy player who made it in the kenyan premier league he pushes the boys to focus on soccer and education as not all of them will become pro football in. the academy and my mentality to see football as a. career when i was a kid. and around a $1000.00 approximately a $1.00. and doesn't call out now because i can't even pay my fees the school fees name violet the same amount my mom and i can't even buy a kid a booth was when i was in the car to me some people bought me boobs so now i can do
2:25 pm
the same. it's a tough task to change the kids perspective and make them see the opportunities available in africa as most of them will always dream of making it in europe. my advice now let's listen in now because i have a lot a lot of kids who look up in the foundation. to build a talked about home because if we do it there they are a big. part of the kids who will make it and they are living you know and it is we have been here but the difficulty is that when they see you here they think you know what you are there and the wedding is here. 'd
2:26 pm
for african players coming here it's really really important that they just come help to integrate and that. they were here they cannot confront you directly especially in belgium. it was something wrong something they don't and won't like they want to live in africa. they don't like something they tell you and then you. fortunately johannah got plenty of advice from older african players helping him get used to the european in tallahassee. he doubt what once. i get sworn team do what's here now. it's a good thing to see that someone. throughout his career johannah moeller has never lost his love for the beautiful game. but he has had to make sacrifices to state football in january 2021 he signed
2:27 pm
a contract in turkey's top division. the rules for my new home. as a room is in eastern anatolia 4000 kilometers away from his family and brooch. from a professional point of view moving was a good decision. in new york is more may be it's a tactic or you know. it's basis on all these. it's more physical more more more direct with work and i think that's. if there's a room stays in the top flight johannah will stay in turkey and his family will join him in the summer. a new chapter of his life as an african football in europe . but the time to return home is closer.
2:28 pm
like other footballers worldwide who donate at least one percent of that johannah join the common goal initiative to change things for the better however i want to me it will never i don't want to be having a foundation to help i want to grow up you know one of the all of these things out of being are being kept there for like you have a for more clubs you know having a. good structure for the kids. i want to live life with my farm and just live life more be people. but now it's more inbred my heart that i am me of course it's. that means that yeah we have you still have a lot more to get. more . 7 to 900 years of jewish life in germany
2:29 pm
and 20 miles away a journey from berlin to munich to meet cultural leaders. descending men marines taking fleet of wrists and guns in. 1700 years of jewish life in china marks 20. 8. expanding. in romania that change is rearing its. head when we are in an ongoing race with the say an. environmental activist and local politicians are desperately trying to reverse the desertification. but is it already too late. wired gosh. garber by. 60 minutes on d w. in the art of climate change. africa.
2:30 pm
