About Kick4Life F.C. 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, combining the football industry and the Sport for Development sector, is needed to uncap the power of sport for social change. We are a registered charity and a social enterprise with offices in Lesotho, the UK, Luxembourg and the USA. We are based at the Kick4Life Centre in Maseru, Lesotho’s capital city. This is the home ground of our teams and a hub of social and economic development. We deliver a range of social interventions around health education & life skills, with our flagship programme, the Kick4Life Academy providing vulnerable children & young […]

Plan International has been working in Senegal since 1982 to promote children’s rights and equality for girls. To achieve this, we work alongside children, their communities, the Senegalese government and civil society organisations. In Senegal, patriarchal traditions, poor living conditions and ineffectively applied laws lead to the violation of children’s rights, with girls being particularly vulnerable. In addition, there are high rates of child marriage and malnutrition, the standard of health care is low and there are a large number of unemployed women and young people. Our priorities include: Protecting children, especially girls, from violence, including during emergencies Improving health services Providing children with access to quality, inclusive education, including during emergencies Supporting young people to gain key skills and get good jobs.

ARTICLE 19 works for a world where all people everywhere can freely express themselves and actively engage in public life without fear of discrimination. We do this by working nationally, regionally and internationally to close the implementation gap between law and practice. We promote media freedom, increase access to information, protect journalists and human rights defenders, fight the shrinking of civic space, and place human rights at the heart of developing digital spaces. Digital rights The Internet is the most disruptive communication technology of our time, revolutionising the free flow of information between individuals by offering anyone with an Internet connection the ability to gather and share information and ideas. Yet the technologies that make this possible can also be used to limit access to information through content blocking and full-scale Internet shutdowns, or stifle expression through surveillance on a scale previously unimaginable. In recent years, States have adopted myriad laws to regulate content online, increasingly putting pressure on private actors to censor content which they deem illegal or simply “harmful.” Much of the world’s online content is now regulated by the community standards and algorithms of a handful of Internet companies, whose operations and processes lack transparency. Internet users’ […]

Today, FHI 360 continues to address HIV and other development challenges through the Roads to a Healthy Future (ROADS II) project, which serves approximately 30 percent of Burundi’s population. ROADS II in Burundi strengthens the capacity of provincial and district health offices, hospitals, health centers and community-based organizations to increase access to HIV and other health services, including family planning services, for mobile populations and local residents. ROADS II in Burundi also addresses gender-based violence, which often fuels the spread of HIV by limiting the ability to negotiate safe sexual practices, disclose HIV status and access services.
