Suwon FC presented Rwandan teenagers with uniforms and soccer boots for the 2023-2024 season.
Suwon FC donated clothes such as uniforms and soccer boots last season to the overseas education volunteer activities of the Korea National University of Education, which took place from January 17 to February 13. The donated items were delivered to 1,319 elementary, middle, and high school students from Rwanda's G.S. Bugarura and G.S. Mburabuturo Education Office, one of the poorest countries in the world, through the Overseas Education Volunteer Corps led by Vice President Chung Gu-in of the Korea National University of Teachers.

Professional sports clubs produce new uniforms and training kits every year, naturally leaving last season's items in stock. Suwon FC decided to donate to overseas youth who love soccer and K culture, instead of just discarding it. In addition to motivating Rwandan students to exercise more vigorously in Suwon FC uniforms, it also served as an opportunity to practice the value of sharing through sports and to publicize the names of Suwon Special City and Suwon FC.
Choi Soon-ho, head of Suwon FC, said "Football has power that transcends language and culture. Beyond simple donations, we are happy to present dreams and hopes to Rwandan students through sports, and expressed our willingness to seek various support measures for the underprivileged abroad and domestically in the future.
