Alive and Kicking

Nearly 3 million people are living with HIV/AIDS in Kenya and Zambia. Alive & Kicking believes that by combining social entrepreneurship with sport’s mass appeal, lasting economic and social development can be achieved in Africa.

Alive & Kicking uses football as a platform to educate young people in high-risk regions of Africa about the importance of maintaining healthy and active lifestyles. The organisation trains coaches to teach participants about personal hygiene techniques and mediate discussions about a number of preventable illnesses and diseases.

Alive & Kicking also provides job opportunities for thousands of young people in these regions, employing people in Kenya, and Zambia.
