Center for Sports and Growth

Pure joy. Pure passion. Pure unity.

When the goal hit the net, the celebration said it all — no labels, no divisions, just one team, one dream.

In these moments, refugees and local youth aren’t different — they are teammates, friends, family.

This is what Goals for Inclusion is all about: breaking barriers, building bonds, and creating a future where everyone belongs.

A Camera Can Change a Life

At the Center for Sports and Growth, we are now training young people in photography — giving them practical skills that can help them earn a living, support their families, and build a future beyond the slums.

For many of these youth, photography is more than art.

It is opportunity, independence, and hope.

You can help make this possible.

Donate cameras or photography equipment and support the next generation of storytellers and entrepreneurs from our community.

Together, we can turn talent into livelihoods.

Today we officially launched Goals for Inclusion — the Center for Sports and Growth community league bringing refugees and host community youth together on the same team. ⚽

Watching refugee and local kids play side by side, solve challenges on the field, and celebrate as one team was powerful.

One lesson stood out: when children play together, the divisions that often separate their families become harder to sustain. It’s difficult to hate the family of the teammate who is passing the ball to your own child.

Sport continues to prove that it can build bridges where words sometimes fail.

Our field may not be the best.
Our shoes may be worn.
But our hearts? They are the strongest.”

Sport is more than a game—it’s a classroom.

At Center for Sports and Growth, our coaches are applying Purposeful Play approaches learned from Across Continents to teach children about their rights through fun and engaging movement games.

The children actively solved challenges, shared their ideas, and learned important life lessons through play.

At Center for Sports and Growth, we believe sport can be a powerful tool for learning and empowerment.

From the community pitch to big dreams.

For many girls in our U16 Girls League, football is more than just a game.

It is a place where they build confidence, friendships, and the courage to dream bigger.

Through sport, they are discovering their voices and their potential.

At Center for Sports and Growth, we believe that when girls play, entire communities grow stronger.

We welcome partners and supporters who believe in the power of sport to transform lives.

The Center for Sports and Growth (CSG) is proud to officially launch our Community Football League for both boys and girls here in the Mathare community.

Through this league, we are creating safe and inclusive spaces where young people can play, grow, and learn valuable life skills. Football is more than just a game—it is a powerful tool that helps us promote teamwork, discipline, leadership, and positive social change.

Every weekend, hundreds of young players will come together to compete, build friendships, and stay actively engaged in activities that keep them away from crime and drug abuse while inspiring them to dream bigger.

Together, we are nurturing the next generation of leaders—both on and off the pitch.

Weekend matches aren’t just about goals and wins.
They’re about discipline, teamwork, and giving children a safe space to grow.

Sport is the entry point—but growth is the goal .

A healthy athlete starts with a healthy environment and the right nutrition.

At Center for Sports and Growth, our children enjoy a warm cup of porridge after every scheduled weekend match—because fueling young bodies is just as important as the game itself.

Together, we’re nurturing stronger, healthier, and happier champions on and off the field ⚽🥣

1 USD will provide a warm cup of porridge to 5 children.You can support the project via the link in our bio. .
