Ranji Ragbeer - Using coaching to 'lift kids out of poverty'

The African Coaches League (ACL) was set up in 2020 by Ezirim Kennedy, with the aim of leveraging coaching to lift people on the continent out of poverty.

Now, with around 1,500 members, it hopes to solidify its presence and its purpose.

An offshoot of the Yagazie Foundation, a charity that "engages and enables the vulnerable, the marginalized and the less privileged teenagers and youth", the ACL offers its members support, education, opportunities to give back and the chance to both give and receive mentorship.

Ranji Ragbeer, a coach at Athens United in Georgia, USA, is one of the founding members of the ACL.
