Global Development Challenges We Aim to Address

Gender Inequality
In secondary schools in rural Tanzania studied by LiiKe, as many as nine out of ten girls do not complete their education successfully.
Goals and Actions
1
Supporting Education Through Physical Activity
LiiKe supports children’s and youth’s education by strengthening their physical and mental well-being through physical activity and health education.

Integrating physical activity into the school day helps create a safe, engaging, and supportive learning environment.
Climate crisis
Climate change is the greatest threat to health and well-being!
Goals and Actions
2
Quality Physical end Health Education
LiiKe collaborates with the Ministries of Education, Sports, and Internal Affairs in its partner countries, as well as with teacher training institutions and teachers’ unions, to improve the quality of physical education and increase the number of qualified teachers.

LiiKe also engages in advocacy work to strengthen the recognition and integration of physical education in national curricula.
The global learning crisis
In LiiKe’s area of operation in Sub-Saharan Africa, 89% of ten-year-old children who attend school cannot understand a simple written text, due to learning poverty.
Goals and Actions
3
A more sustainable, healthy, and equitable global world
LiiKe’s work is grounded in a human rights-based approach.
Our activities strengthen the ability of target groups to recognize, claim, and exercise their rights, while also enhancing the capacity of authorities to respect, promote, and protect human rights and ensure their fulfillment.

Our projects are not just about participating in sports — they also raise awareness and open dialogue on broader themes such as gender equality, health, well-being, and the environment.
