Grassroots coaching
Structured, age-appropriate training that develops technique, game intelligence and fitness — from first touch to professional pathway.
What we do
More than a game.
Football is our doorway. Through it we run programmes that protect, mentor and grow the whole child — on the pitch and far beyond it.
Mentorship
Every player is guided by coaches and role models who help them set goals, stay in school and make good choices off the pitch.
Girls' football
A dedicated programme creating space, teams and opportunity for girls in a setting where they are too often left on the sidelines.
Girls' mentorship
Female-led guidance that builds confidence, safety and leadership for young women growing up in Kibera.
Mental health & wellbeing
A supportive team environment where children can talk, be heard and build the resilience to cope with life in the settlement.
Crime prevention
Keeping children purposefully engaged after school — off the streets and away from the crime and idleness that trap so many.
07 · Community engagement
Tournaments, clean-ups and events that bring families together and make the whole neighbourhood part of the team.
Room for girls.
Two of our seven programmes exist specifically for girls — a dedicated football programme and female-led mentorship. In a setting where young women are too often left on the sidelines, we make sure there is a team, a kit and a coach waiting for them.

Better together.
We do not work alone. Partnerships give our players better coaching, better facilities and a wider world than the one they train in.
Partner organisation
Elevate Sports
A working partnership that strengthens our coaching, our structure and the opportunities we can put in front of our players.
Programme venue & partner school
German School Nairobi
We run a KESA programme at the German School Nairobi, giving our coaches a professional environment to work in and our children access to proper facilities.
Wherever we run, the same standards apply — qualified coaches, first-aid cover, and our published child, gender & safeguarding policy.
Sponsor a programme
Partners can put their name behind a single programme — girls' football, mentorship, mental health — and follow its impact season by season.
