Alive & Kicking is an African social enterprise that manufactures sports balls to provide balls for children, create jobs for adults and promote health education through sport. Based on the principle that trade, not aid, can help communities in the long term, Alive & Kicking’s workshops in Kenya and Zambia are run as not-for-profit businesses and sustain themselves through sales revenue. What we do
