Making footballs that can save lives in Africa

Make no mistake we at Alive & Kicking are very thankful to all of you; our supporters, for believing in our initiative. Below are two of many messages of thanks that we have received for the balls we have been able to distribute through your generous donations this past quarter. …………………….

I’m Modester Imbuluku; a player of Bravillian Queens Association. On behalf of my team members, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you very much for the balls you have offered unto us. This has really motivated us and we are working hard to achieve our goals. May God bless the work of your hands for the good work that you are doing.

Dear friends,

A short letter of thank you in acknowledgement of receipt of footballs donated to the Baraka Village, South Coast, Kenya.

Baraka Village is populated by those unfortunates who have suffered the debilitating and disfiguring effects of leprosy disease together with their families….The children could not quite believe that the footballs were theirs for keeps until they were allowed to start kicking them. Thank you for caring and please continue to care.

Ken (On behalf of the residents of Baraka Village) …………………….

To date, approximately 180,000 balls have bounced out of our Alive & Kicking Kenya factory to provide not just fun for children and youth, but to also educate them on HIV/AIDS and malaria prevention. All this would not have been possible without your assistance. Thus from the children who benefit from the balls; the stitchers you keep employed with every ball that you purchase, and all of us at the Alive & Kicking family, thank you for your continual support. Asante sana!
