Kit4kenya 444 Challange
- Do 4 Keepie Uppies with a football
- Donate £4 to Kit4kenya
- Tag @kit4kenya & 4 freinds in the challenge on your Instagram story
Kit4kenya charity was founded in 2017 by two 17-year-old, British A-level students, Tom Sweetnam & Archie Barrow.
As a charity we send out football kits and equipment to kids and slum communities in Kenya in order to give them a chance to fulfil their potential and improve their quality of life.
In the early stages of setting up our charity, we collected a total of 500 second-hand football boots from local schools which were then taken over to Kenya in suitcases by our contacts who happened to be travelling out there at the time.
Since then we have been lucky enough to work with a number of high-profile football clubs such as: Arsenal, Manchester United, AS Roma & Oxford United. As a result of this big step we have had to expand our operations and send out kit via sea freight in huge quantities, often exceeding 1,000kg of kit at a time. To date we have successfully delivered £170,000 worth of kit.
Most recently we have teamed up with England Football who have very generously donated 3,000 full kits to us as well as a significant number of footballs. This will be our most challenging shipment to date in terms of cost.
We would be incredibly grateful should you be willing to take part in this challenge on our Instagram Page as it would go a long way to helping us reach our final goal of £3,000 !
You simply cannot overestimate how grateful the kids and football teams from the slums of Kenya are to receive these brand-new kits. Especially given the fact that 99% of them have never owned their own football kit before.
Thank you!
