“I’m proud to announce my new Ambassador role for LEEDO’s work in Dhaka and Patron of UK charity Friends of Street Children Bangladesh.

There are things bigger and more important than football – and this is one of them. This sits very close to my heart, and I truly believe this project can make a big change.”

During his visit to LEEDO’s programs, Hamza experienced firsthand the resilience and warmth of the children supported by the organization. Despite facing immense hardship and adversity in their young lives, the children welcomed him with genuine smiles, kindness, and hope.

Reflecting on the experience, he shared:

“As a Muslim, a father, and a Bangladeshi, it’s my duty – our duty – to start making a change to this situation that affects hundreds of thousands of children in our country and across the world.

I walked into LEEDO not really knowing what to expect, but the love and happiness I was greeted with was overwhelming. These kids have lived through the biggest heartbreaks and toughest times, yet they welcomed me with warm smiles and hugs.”

He further emphasized the transformative power of compassion and support:

“It was truly another life lesson: with love, care, and attention, everyone can have a fresh start and rediscover a life they deserve to live. This is a testament to the people at LEEDO and all the incredible work they’ve done.”

By joining LEEDO as an Ambassador, Hamza Choudhury hopes to raise awareness, inspire collective action, and mobilize global support for children who deserve safety, opportunity, and a brighter future.

“I’m so proud and honored to be an Ambassador for LEEDO – and together we can all make a change.”
