‘Sport has the power to change the world’ – Nelson Mandela, 2000 Laureus World Sports Awards

Kick4Life uses football to reach at-risk children and young people in Lesotho, promoting health, education, life-skills development, gender rights and employability. Lesotho has one of the highest rates of HIV infection in the world and many of the issues this programme seeks to address are linked to the impact of that virus on communities.

The Girls United initiative also addresses gender equity issues including gender-based violence, while the Climate Enterprise Initiative supports young climate entrepreneurs towards achieving sustainable livelihoods with incubator support and employment opportunities.

Kick4Life, which was also nominated for the 2022 Laureus Sport for Good Award, has reached more than 250,000 children and young people since it was founded in 2005
