TK Born and Raised was established to facilitate and promote greater and better awareness of ‘Reconnecting Individuals Back to Their Roots’ through Education, Sports, Fashion, Health, Wellbeing, Beauty and fashion. This will be achieved by hosting football tournament, contemporary fashion design exhibitions and shows that appeal to all age groups. Our philosophy is to use our platforms as a stepping stone to express and represent everything that embodies the individual including, their talents, culture and heritage. One of our focus is to bring academy level coaching to everyone in the community as we strongly believe in embracing diversity. Our tailored sessions can be done at all levels of ability and our staff are all highly qualified and DBS checked with safeguarding.
TK Born and raised is also set up in Africa to provide opportunities for some of the most underprivileged teens in Sierra Leone, through the power of football. Sierra Leone is one of the world's poorest countries and the outlook for many young people in the country is bleak. Over 50% of the population live below the poverty line and the average life expectancy of just 54 years. Many underprivileged children are from single-parent backgrounds or are Orphans, the fortunate ones selling local produce on the streets to feed their families, the less fortunate forced to live on the streets without a roof over their heads.
Our mission is not simply to help these children to survive but to thrive and become the future leaders of socio-economic change in their communities.
Through our work with the Metropolitan Police FC here in the UK, we focus on rehabilitating young offenders in the local community where access to support is limited and we also bring elite football coaching to the local community on the London and Surrey border, providing a mix of group development, after-school clubs, holiday camps, and 1to1 sessions. The range of sessions are aimed at children as young as 6, up to the age of 16, delivered within the TK Born And Raised structure to ensure inclusion for all participants, regardless of background, gender, or footballing ability. Even if your child is already with a football club, we can provide additional coaching and support to work alongside their existing training schedule. Our training sessions give your child a fantastic opportunity to develop key skills both on and off the pitch. We strongly believe in making session engaging for all involved, building confidence and collaboration in all participants. The aim of the sessions is for our members to come away feeling they have progressed in their football abilities, made friends through teamwork, and most importantly had fun!
To achieve our objectives in Africa, we have set up the TK Born and raised academy in Makeni, the largest city in the northern province. In addition to football coaching, our members have access to regular meals, accommodation, formal education and basic medical care to fight diseases, such as Malaria and the Zika virus.
TK Born and Raised have recently hired a tutor to teach skills in carpentry, masonry, arts & crafts, architecture and basic Microsoft office applications. These vocational skills will create career opportunities outside of football, allowing the teens to become financially independent when they graduate from the TK Born and Raised academy.
A fantastic opportunity to contribute to a meaningful project that will change the lives of so many children. Digital Marketing/Social Media...
