The idea was birthed to help Children from neighboring slums and marginalized areas get an alternative escape away from the streets. Having an avid love of soccer, the universal game, many of the children joined the academy to get a reprieve from their harsh backgrounds.
Joined by a teacher and researcher friend LIHFE -(LITERACY, HEALTH IN FAMILY AND ENVIRONMENT) was birthed to help coordinate and address the children's plight which was mainly education, good social circles and faith. From our donors, sponsors and friends we have managed to help children overcome crime, drug abuse and also inspire them to excel in their education as they pursue football,their first love. From a humble beginning of 5 fun loving kids, LIHFE soccer academy now hosts sessions for over 40 kids weekly all year round. Here we play,and have fun as we develop the kids sporting prowess under our vision to empower.
Our core values are:
1. Behavioral approaches,
2. Community transformation,
3. Integrated programs,
4. Community centered,
5. Collaboration and partnership
