Kits For
Africa
Kits For Africa is a registered organisation (Company No. CLG-QPF72M) and the CSR arm of Lycan International Limited. Founded in 2017, we have distributed over 2,140 football kits to schools and grassroots teams across Kenya in partnership with UK football clubs.
Following a period of dormancy during COVID-19, we relaunched in January 2026 with a renewed focus on using football as a pathway to educational outcomes — not just equipment distribution, but meaningful programmes that create lasting impact for young people.
A pathway to
opportunity
To use football as a pathway to improve educational outcomes and life opportunities for children and young people in Kenya — with child protection and environmental sustainability at the heart of everything we do.
Every kit, every session, every partnership is evaluated against this mission — ensuring our work moves beyond sport and into lasting social change.
Our values
Five principles that shape every decision, every programme, and every relationship we build.
Child Protection First
Comprehensive safeguarding embedded in every session, every activity, every partnership.
Environmental Responsibility
Sustainability baked into our operations — from kit choices to programme delivery.
Evidence-Based
Programmes shaped by needs assessments and tracked through measurable outcomes.
Partnership
Deep collaboration with communities, schools, and football bodies across Kenya.
Inclusion
Equal opportunities for girls and boys, including young people with disabilities.
A Kenya where
every young person thrives
A Kenya where every young person has access to safe, structured sporting opportunities that support their education and personal development — regardless of gender, ability, or background.
- Safe, structured football for all young people
- Education and sport working hand in hand
- Communities empowered to sustain programmes
- Measurable impact at every level
Rooted in Kenya.
