Kampala Kids League (Uganda)
Kampala Kids League is a programme in Kampala, Uganda that offers opportunities for children from different social, economic and religious backgrounds to mix and play together. History Kampala Kids League (KKL) was founded by Trevor Dudley (a British resident of Kampala) in 1998 to help boys and girls aged 4–14 in the capital city of Uganda to improve their lives through sport. Schools in the city were coming under pressure at that time to improve academic results and sports were being excluded. New schools were also being built without playing fields. Children in Uganda therefore needed the opportunity to play team sports. Since then over 16,000 boys and girls from over 160 different Schools, Orphanages and Street Children's organisations have successfully completed over 50 different seasons of Football, Basketball, Baseball and Mini Cricket activity. Over 2,000 adult volunteers have been trained as coaches and administrators and over 150 different local corporate sponsors have ...
