Our Mission
Cheza Sports Foundation empowers disadvantaged youth in Nairobi to reach their full potential through football. We believe football is a powerful tool for transformation, and we use it to equip young people with the skills and resources they need to succeed on and off the field.

Our Vision
We see young people blossoming into their full potential, unconstrained by socio-economic limitations. Football serves as our springboard — a powerful tool to propel them towards a brighter tomorrow.
Read the full visionWhat we actually do
We implement the “sports for development” concept — programmes that reach far beyond league facilitation for Chezasports FC.

Skills training that equips young people to navigate a changing job market and build sustainable livelihoods.
-

Community & food security
Online food donation appeals addressing immediate hunger for vulnerable families across the settlement.
Cheza She Unit
Keeping girls in school, and in sport.
Period poverty pulls girls out of classrooms and off the pitch. The Cheza She Unit exists so it does not have to.
On the pitch, and beyond it
We can’t do this alone
We work tirelessly to create a supportive environment where young people feel included and valued. Through our programmes we nurture talent, unlock potential, and bridge the gap for underprivileged youth in Nairobi.
