Kick4Life F.C. is a unique football club based in Lesotho in southern Africa. 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 focused on health, education and support towards sustainable livelihoods.
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.
In the heart of Maseru, Lesotho’s capital city, the Kick4Life Centre is a hub of social and economic activity where most of our youth development projects take place. Our social enterprises can be found on site, including the No.7 restaurant and the Kick4Life Hotel & Conference Centre, and it is also the home ground of our teams and our staff HQ.
