Kibera, one of Africa’s largest informal settlements, is home to thousands of marginalized children and youth struggling extreme poverty, malnutrition, lack of education, and limited opportunities for personal growth. Parents, earning less than $1 a day, making it nearly impossible to provide their children with adequate food, education, or access to sports. In search of daily wages, some parents walk over eight miles for casual labor, while others resort to selling roasted maize or small goods on street corners. With such economic hardships, many children are left vulnerable to exploitation, engaging in child labor, crime, drugs abuse, school dropout, and teenage pregnacies instead of pursuing education and structured activites.

For children, youth and families uprooted by War or persecution, sport is much more than a leisure activity. It's an opportunity to be included, cared for, loved and protected - a chance to heal, develop and grow. One of the most effective tool to address behavior change and reconciliation among the children, youth and adult is sport.
Sports is universal "language" spoken by every people group on the face of the earth. Sports speaks to youth in a language they best understand. Sports powerfully bring nations and community together and crosses cultural, social, religious, and economic lines - like nothing else can.
Sports provide a platform to speak truth into people's lives. It was through the same sport that my character was molded, my purpose and destiny made clear. This is the same spirit, desire and dream I have for our children, youth and adult to see them holistically live to their full potential.
Sports & leadership development: Equip young athletes with technical skills, leadership training, and mentorship to foster resilience and community transformation.
Through these initiatives, SAA nurtures a generation of empowered leaders who will drive positive change in Kibera and beyond.
