King of Lesotho declares No.7 restaurant officially open

King of Lesotho declares No.7 restaurant officially open

The King of Lesotho cut a ribbon to declare No.7 restaurant officially open at the Kick4Life Centre in Maseru. The Queen accompanied him at the event attended by hundreds of people from business, government and NGOs from Lesotho.

No.7 is a social enterprise restaurant meaning 100% of profits are invested in Kick4Life's charity work including health education, life-skills development and support towards long-term employment and education. The restaurant also provides traineeships for young people, providing them with the skills and experience to pursue careers in catering and hospitality.

The event included a speech by the King who gave his endorsement to Kick4Life and referenced the exciting progress of the organization as a vehicle for social change in Lesotho. This was followed by a tour of the Kick4Life Centre with staff members on hand to talk about our media centre, the health & testing clinics, literacy, football activities, No.7 and the soon-to-open Kick4Life Hotel & Conference Centre where one of the bedrooms was on show.
