Jim Cogan OBE founded it in 2004. Alive and Kicking is an African social enterprise that manufactures sports balls to provide balls for children, create jobs for adults and promote health education through sport. Our balls are hand-stitched in Kenya, Zambia and Ghana. Made from African leather, they are built to last in tough terrain. The screen prints on the balls are educational tools for the children. Our health awareness programmes use sport to engage young people with vital information about their health.
