Quality Footballs for 90,000 Children

By donating a ball through Alive and Kicking, you're helping to give an average of 45 children per ball access to a quality sports ball, often for the first time.

Help Save Ethical Jobs

By donating an Alive and Kicking football, hand-stitched in Ghana you'll also help to save ethical jobs.

More than 6 million people in Ghana currently live on less than $1 a day, with high levels of casual employment and unemployment keeping families in poverty. 

Our Ghana operation lifts families out of poverty; helping vulnerable individuals to improve their lives by generating sustainable, ethical, fairly paid jobs.
