Keep your Eye on the Bola

BOLA is an initiative by Costa Rica-based Pupila and Africa-based Alive and Kicking, the world’s first non-for-profit ball manufacturer (with an emphasis on social impact in Africa), that invites one designer/studio from each of the 32 countries that qualified to the 2022 World Cup to design a custom ball. Each ball is hand-made by Alive and Kicking in Kenya and available for purchase, with all proceeds going to support the organization and its mission. (A brief video of the making of the balls can be found in this Instagram carousel.)
