Lesotho and Wales have been twinned since 1985. They face similar health challenges that impact children and young people, including challenges relating to mental health, nutrition, healthy living, substance misuse, and sexual and reproductive health.
Project goals

- Provide eight coaches (four from Kick4Life and four from Wrexham AFC) with opportunities for personal development and cultural exchange, thereby developing values of global citizenship and strengthening ties within the global football community.
- Achieve a 50:50 gender balance among both participants and coaches.
- Improve the two organisations’ safeguarding, gender, and monitoring and evaluation practices.
Project content
- Training coaches to deliver training sessions in their respective countries.
- Delivering a health education, gender equality and life skills curriculum to young people.
- Referring young people to external health and protection services when required.
