The story behind the Sasa Sport logo: The Rwandan Peace Basket.

Grateful for our partners Eco-Soap Bank and Soapbox!

🧼 They make our Clean Start program possible by providing soap that kids love—fun colors and shapes that bring smiles.

These soaps are used during Sasa Sport sessions and sent home with every child, helping families and communities stay healthy.

The story behind the Sasa name: The name Sasa Sport comes from the Kiswahili word "sasa", which means "now." It’s a word full of energy and urgency. Sasa is a call to action for our staff and educators and the children we serve: Now is the time to play, to grow, and to lead.

Though Sasa Sport is based in Rwanda, this name reaches beyond borders. Kiswahili is spoken across East Africa and beyond — sasa connects us to a broader community and invites everyone in.

At Sasa, we’re equipping children to thrive through sport, because now is the time to shape futures.

Friday energy 💥 = the joy of moving and a field full of action and fun with your friends.

⚽ Partnership Spotlight: Nyungwe National Park

We’re proud to team up with Nyungwe National Park - Rwanda to host Sasa football sessions in one of Rwanda’s most beautiful natural settings. Together, we’re inspiring youth through sport, character development, and connection to nature.

Thank you to the Nyungwe team for believing in the power of play and supporting our goal to reach children in remote regions.

Sport helps young people build confidence, resilience, discipline and more.

We run regular, age-tailored sessions for kids aged 5 to 18. Our curriculum meets FIFA and UEFA guidelines, because we believe every child deserves access to high-quality activities, whatever their geography or circumstances.
