Social Enterprise Projects

ReCYCLE Scheme

The ReCYCLE Scheme is a weekly waste collection service run by young people living on the street using bicycles and trailers to collect waste from subscribing customers. Participants receive points for conducting collections from more than 40 subscribing customers including businesses and private household, and these points translate to funds towards schools fees and equipment. Points are also received for bike maintenance. The young people also recieve wider support including mentoring and referrals with the aim of getting them back to school and re-housed. It is the first recycling collection scheme in Lesotho.

Super League

The Super League is a weekly football tournament held on the 5-a-side Astroturf pitch at the Lesotho Football for Hope Centre. The League includes a range of teams from local businesses, organizations and clubs. It is a great way to involve the wider community at the centre and to raise awareness of Kick4Life, as well as generating funds to expand our programming.

Siyakhona - meaning 'We can do it' - brings together young people in Lesotho from varied and underprivileged backgrounds to provide them with the opportunity to be a voice for their communities, to enact social change, and to learn useful skills related to media, film production, journliasm, advocacy and business management.
