Swindon’s Shaun Jones, is again linking up with Kick4Life, a unique charity based in Lesotho in Southern Africa.
As a charity and a social enterprise, Kick4Life’s 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.
The Kick4Life All Stars Tour, is a life-changing experience where participants get to play football, make friends and most importantly change lives.
During the trip, the Kick4Life All Stars will be trained to deliver life-saving health education activities to local school-children as well as have the chance to play football in front of hundreds of supporters.
Kick4Life has worked with more than 100,000 underprivileged children at their centre in the heart of Maseru, Lesotho’s capital city. They have also set up a restaurant and a hotel that generate income for the charity as well as providing training and employment for young people.
To take part in the tour, participants need to raise £2,500. This covers flights, accommodation and meals, with the majority of the funds directly supporting the work of Kick4Life.
The charity has received multiple international accolades, including the Nelson Mandela Children’s Award, has been funded by the likes of UNICEF, the Vodafone Foundation and BT Sport, and supported by Prince Harry and former England manager Fabio Capello.
The tour will run from November 23 to December 2, 2018.
To offer your support for the tour you can donate at Shaun’s Just Giving page.
