Next year’s World Cup is going to take place in Charlize Theron’s backyard, so you know she is going to have a hand in it somehow. The lovely South African actress came out on Tuesday to support the LAFC Chelsea Soccer Club when they took on Inter Milan at the Pasadena Rose Bowl.

Other philanthropic stars like Ashton Kutcher and Will Ferrell came out to support the LA based team and Alyssa Milano came out for Italy. All that celeb support must have been nice when Chelsea won 2-0! But it was before the game began that Charlize unveiled her plan for next year’s World Cup--to give underprivileged South African children a place to play soccer:

“The World Cup is a huge, huge thing for South Africans and for Africa. The pride Africans have of hosting this is tremendous,” said Charlize. "The question is, how do we generate that into other areas and have more of an impact?” The Academy Award winner also announced to the crowd that the proceeds of the night’s game were going to a very good cause.

Charlize’s Africa Outreach Project is teaming up with LAFC Chelsea Soccer Club to build community soccer programs in South Africa's Umkhanyakude District--an area plagued by a high rate of HIV infection. South Africa has the highest rate of HIV/AIDS in the world—5 million people are said to be living with the disease in the country. Kids involved in the program will receive health education and services.

The World Cup is a year away but you can help Charlize’s cause right now! Marvelyn Brown is our Do Something diva with a message about HIV/AIDS. Follow her lead and help spread the word about the dangers of HIV/AIDS and tell your friends to get tested.
