NFL Player, Amobi Okoye, started a project with other athletes called the Athletes in the Diaspora Community Interventions (ADCI) which provides humanitarian support for change on the African continent.

For one of the projects he established, Changing Africa Through Education (CATE), Amobi traveled to Nigeria with several other professional athletes (Adewale Ogunleye, Osi Umenyiora, Israel Idonije, and Ahman Green) to work on programs that included scholarship endowments, soccer camps, clean water programs and, and held five mobile clinics for over 1,000 residents. In addition, medicine was distributed in partnership with physicians from Integris Health of Oklahoma. Other athletes who donated but were unable to make the trip include Nnamdi Asomuga (Oakland Raiders), Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila (Green Bay Packers), Akbar Gbaja-Biamila (Miami Dolphins), and Adimchinobe Echemandu (Oakland Raiders).

They held two physical activity camps which exposed youth to the fundamentals of American Football Soccer camps  and they included girls as a part of their commitment to the advancement of women in sports. During the trip, Okoye and ADCI launched the ADCI Academy of Sports and Learning which will be built in Nigeria.  ADCI is presented in conjunction with the Sports and Marketing Management firm founded by Okoye, InVictus91. Additional programs Amobi Okoye leads through C.A.T.E and the Amobi Okoye Foundation include the funding of clean water wells and the ongoing sponsorship of a maternity ward, the only hospital within 100 mile radius in NRI, a developing village in Nigeria.
