ABOUT LOVE LIFE

Football has been an important part of love-life’s behaviour–change for HIV prevention strategy since the inception of the love-life games in 2002. The love-life games are South Africa’s largest school sports initiative. It is funded by the national Department of sports and recreation (SRSA).

With the inception of the love-lifestyle strategy in 2004, love-life started driving sports league formation through its 7,000- strong youth service corps, with the explicit intention of linking these leagues to the love-life games.

Football was a new avenue for working with young people.In 2009, love-life engaged over 64 000 young men and women in structured soccer activity. The organisation is also passionate about promoting and raising awareness of the use of sport for positive change.

They also provide a variety of community programs for at-risk adolescents, such as health education, life skills development, and gender equality.

” WHEN A FOOTBALL KIT IS GIVEN TO A CHILD/ YOUNG ADULT, WHO LOVES THE GAME WITH A PASSION THE RIPPLE EFFECT OF THAT AND THE POWER FOOTBALL HAS TO INSPIRE IS A POWERFUL COMBINATION.

HOWEVER WHEN EDUCATION AND SOCIAL INCLUSION IS PUT INTO THE MIX THE COMBINATION BECOMES WORLD CHANGING.

Biodiversity

Wherever trees are established, wildlife and other plants are sure to follow, ensuring a healthier ecosystem. Trees provide shelter and food for a variety of birds and small animals. Attracting pollinators which in turn help with vegetable and plant growth used not just for food but also for medicines.   

Climate

Trees are sometimes called the lungs of the Earth because they absorb pollutants through their leaves. Trees improve water quality, and reduce flooding and erosion.

Trees temper climate. Trees lower air temperatures and humidity; they can also influence wind speed. Evaporation of water from trees, or transpiration, has a cooling effect. 

Kits for the World

Kits for the World is committed to help fighting the issue of climate change. To this end not only do we reuse and recycle football kits. We also look for the most sustainable way to transport football kits to our partner projects.

To offset this transaction we also are also looking to partner with charities that can help re-green planting trees and forests which play a crucial role in combating climate change and loss of biodiversity. 

Kits for the world are also looking to partner with companies of electric vans to help assist in local collections of kit donations.
