More information on Kick4Life:

 

Kick4Life were founded in 2005 and have since focused their efforts in Lesotho in southern Africa, delivering a range of projects focused on tackling HIV through sports-based health education, voluntary testing, life-skills development and support into education and employment. Lesotho has the third highest HIV prevalence in the world and more than 100,000 children have been orphaned by the disease.

 

Lesotho has the world's third highest prevalence of HIV with more than 23.2% of the population infected with the virus. This has had a devastating impact on life expectancy, on family structures and on the economy.

 

Hundreds of thousands of children have been orphaned by the disease, and many young people live unsupported on the streets vulnerable to poverty, crime, ill-health, prostitution and with a lack of hope for the future. Since 2007 Kick4Life has delivered a health and education programme aimed at transforming the lives of orphans and vulnerable children.

 

- £10 enables Kick4Life to deliver health education and HIV testing to one child in Lesotho. If they test positive they are referred to treatment and ongoing support.

- £50 pays for a child living on the streets to be supported into an orphanage.

 

I was fortunate enough to work alongside Kick4Life during my 10 month stay in Lesotho. Kick4Life are a charity making a real difference in an impoverished country.

 

Thank you for your support,

Matt
