To promote Hatua's mission we support the work of other outstanding community based organizations working on behalf of Likoni youth. The Likoni Community Football League (LCFL) is one such outstanding organization which Hatua Likoni is proud to support. The LCFL was started by volunteer football coaches throughout Likoni with the help of Ben Levey, an American who volunteered with Hatua Likoni from February through November 2011.
Before the LCFL Likoni was a community of over 160,000 people without a single well organized extra-curricular activity for kids. Many young boys and girls play football (soccer) on community teams, but the teams lacked a league to provide a structure for frequent matches. This was particularly limiting for young footballers whose early potential faded with age due to lack of competition. Now the LCFL organizes weekly games and championship tournaments every third month for over 1,000 young Likoni footballers.
Hatua Likoni is playing a pivotal role in the development of the LCFL, serving as an incubator for this organization. We assist the LCFL with office and meeting space, internet access, web presence, and financial support by processing its donations and helping to manage its finances. We are excited to help this impactful community effort grow in Likoni and look forward to supporting other such outstanding organizations in future.
The LCFL's organizers have big goals, they aim to build the best youth football league in Kenya. We believe they can, and are proud to help the LCFL work towards its goal.
