Likoni, Mombasa, Kenya
Likoni has a population of over 200,000 people. About 2/3 of the population are under 24 years old. Likoni is part of Mombasa, the 2nd largest city in Kenya located on the Indian Ocean and home to East Africa's largest port. The port, however, cuts Likoni off from the rest of the city causing Likoni to have the highest rate of poverty in Mombasa. Forty-five percent of Likoni's residents live on less than $1 US per day.

Dozens of barefoot children, two balls and a pitch, which was nothing more than a square between houses. But my anxiety disappeared immediately after meeting kids who were training with so much joy and commitment. After a second, I felt comfortable. It’s a cliché to write that both kids and coaches were incredible. But that’s the truth. They fascinated me from the very beginning. They did all the exercises with amazing curiosity, discipline and diligence... If you have dreams, stop talking about them and start following them. Just like I did thanks to LCFL and Hatua Likoni." |
