Kick4Life F.C Details
Kick4Life F.C. is the world's first football club exclusively dedicated to social change. As a charity and a social enterprise our mission is to change the lives and long-term prospects of vulnerable young people in Lesotho, through a wide range of social development activities. Our men's team currently plays in the Lesotho Premier League and our women's team in the Maseru District League.Our approach is based on the belief that football clubs do not always have to be run for private profit, and that we can more effectively leverage the enormous wealth and influence of the football industry for social development by becoming a part of it. We believe this new type of model, transcending the football industry and the Sport for Development sector, is needed to uncap the power of sport for social change. As such we are a registered charity and a social enterprise with offices in Lesotho, the UK and the USA.We are based at the Kick4Life Centre in Maseru, Lesotho's capital city. This is the home ground of our teams and a hub of social and economic development. The Kick4Life Academy provides a range of opportunities for children and young people of all abilities to work towards a healthy and successful future, with a structured package of care and support combining the chance to play football with health education & life-skills, literacy, mentoring and referrals to key services such re-housing & protection. This long-term, holistic and high impact approach is designed to support participants towards long-term education, training and employment, and the chance to achieve a sustainable livelihood. Our players are central to the model. Many of them are current or past participants, health education & life-skills coaches, and powerful role models for our work across Lesotho.The Club's No.7 restaurant and Kick4Life Hotel & Conference Centre also provide structured training and employment opportunities for our participants.
