Every Child Deserves a Chance to Rise.

Sport Shapes Destiny

Sports Aid Africa equips children and youth in Kibera, Nairobi, with life skills, leadership, and the mentorship they need to reach their full potential.

Who We Are

Sports Aid Africa (SAA) is a registered Kenyan NGO, established in 2012. We believe every child — regardless of where they were born, what challenges they carry, or how much their family earns — deserves the chance to grow, lead, and thrive. We work in Kibera, one of Africa's most densely populated urban communities, using sport as our entry point to unlock potential, build character, and create lasting pathways out of poverty.

Refugee Ministry

Hope Beyond Borders

Since 2012, we've expanded our programs to serve refugee communities in Dadaab and Kakuma camps, providing hope and opportunity for displaced youth who have faced unimaginable challenges.

Through sport and education, we help refugee youth build resilience, develop leadership skills, and prepare for eventual resettlement or return to their home countries.
