K4L launches Maseru Street League

With funding from GTZ's Youth Development Through Football (YDF) initiative, Kick4Life has launched its first Street League in Maseru, capital city of Lesotho. Aimed at engaging orphans and vulnerable youth who live on the streets, the league consists of an ongoing 7-a-side Under 17’s league (mixed gender teams).

Each month the youth play football and take part in interactive curriculum activities conducted by K4L peer educators. This includes HIV prevention, stigma reduction and life-skills development. The league also creates a social network that provides youth with an opportunity to interact with others in a healthy, safe and supportive environment.

The support of GTZ has also enabled Kick4Life to train more volunteer coaches in three districts of Lesotho which have prioritised sport as a key tool for development.

GTZ is a German based international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations.
