The Kids League (TKL) organises football programmes for disadvantaged young people in conflict zones in Uganda. Volunteers from the community are trained as referees, coaches and administrators. Often, the children’s parents or guardians participate in various aspects of the programme delivery.
TKL aims to improve children’s lives through sport by breaking down religious, social and economic barriers within communities, thus bringing boys and girls together to convey messages on health, HIV/AIDS and education. The organisation socially integrates ex-child soldiers and traumatised children, and actively encourages more girls to take part in football.
