Micheal Azira formally launches Azira Micheal Youth Foundation and continues work with Ugandan youth

Micheal Azira is a man of uncommon motivation.

This week, the Chicago Fire midfielder formally launched his foundation’s digital presence, going live with new social media handles and a website for parties seeking volunteer or donation opportunities.

The organization -- now formally recognized as the Azira Micheal Youth Foundation -- can be found on Twitter at @aziramicheal, on Instagram at @aziramichealyouth, and online at aziramichealyouthfoundation.org.

Going from a small online presence to running a branded social media account is a new challenge for the 33-year-old, but so far he’s been overwhelmed by the show of support from teammates and followers.
