Every child should be able to play games, not only those who can afford to. African youngsters love football but often the only chance they get to play is with balls they've made themselves out of stuffed plastic bags. An Alive & Kicking ball lasts and gives lasting fun. The balls are donated to schools, orphanages, refugee camps and youth projects across Africa, and every ball carries a message about HIV/AIDS or malaria. Donate a ball now
Kenya and Zambia have 1 million and 600,000 orphans respectively. Most orphanages cannot afford even the most basic toys for children to play with. A ball brings a lot of joy!
Alive & Kicking jobs are in areas of high unemployment, and enable stitchers to support themselves and their extended families.
Alive & Kicking's health programme uses sport as a catalyst to increase young people's awareness of disease.
Alive & Kicking's partners are key to the success of our work. They include UEFA, Zambeef and Tackle Africa.
