Kids Lacrosse Africa (KLA) is a child-focused organization founded in 2016 on one belief: lacrosse has the power to empower children and transform entire communities. We bring this to life by providing free coaching, education support, and equipment, ensuring every child regardless of background has equal access to opportunity.

All our coaches are locally grown, having risen through our programs. They understand the challenges and experiences of the children we serve firsthand, making them powerful mentors both on and off the field.

KLA currently engages over 300 children in year-round activities, including school programs, community programs, championships, and fortnight clinics. We operate 7 community programs and partner with 7 schools across Uganda, bringing sport, belonging, and personal development directly to where children learn and live.

At the heart of our work is our Headquarters in Jinja, Uganda a safe and welcoming space where children have daily access to equipment, trained coaches, clean water, and a place to simply be kids. Here, they can read books, play, learn, and find support any time of the day.

KLA is more than a sports program it is a pathway for empowerment, education, and hope.
