Kick4Life F.C. is a not for profit organisation based in Lesotho.
I have been fortunate to engage in presentations by the team from Kick4life on a couple of occasions. The challenges facing women in Lesotho are wide ranging and very challenging. This is largely due to the prevelence of gender based violence and HIV /AIDS.
Kick4life is not an obvious choice for an organisation to support women and girls, but the programs to available to women and the passion with which they speak of their experience with Kick4life demonstrates clearly the benefits of sport when it is with in supportive and ethical organisations.
“Many of the health needs and challenges are linked to the underlying societal issue of HIV/AIDS, and our integrated approach to this project addresses wellbeing in a holistic way. We believe this is essential to improving the overall long-term health chances of young people in Lesotho. The curriculum also includes significant components of hashtag#genderequality and life-skills development, which are critical in supporting the adoption of healthily attitudes and behaviours.” from www.kick4life.org
