For Each Step

  • STEP 1

    An At-Risk Kid

    Our programs start because of a real need. There are so many kids that are at-risk in Rwanda. Whether because they are orphans, parents are in prison, they are on the streets, they are out of school, they are impoverished, or they just are growing up in a tough place – there are countless youth who need love.

    Invitation To Join a Team

    Here is the thing. Kids love sports! We create sports teams near where at-risk kids live. Our Rwandan coaches, who are already from that area, invite  kids to join their team. We provide a great environment for kids to improve their skills in twice per week trainings and play in matches.

  • STEP 3

    Community Forms

    Our sports teams become families. Places where at-risk kids can share their problems and find out that they are not alone in their struggles. Resources begin to be shared within the team community and kids begin to take care of one another.

  • STEP 4

    Discipleship

    Athletes experience the love of Christ and learn what it means to be poured into and then what it means to pour into others. Our hope is to grow compassion, grace, and mercy in communities to see transformation from within.

  • STEP 5

    Education

    Athletes discover their value in their community. Through this, they are able to discover their talents and begin to pursue their education. Education can include traditional education, entrepreneurship training, or vocational education.

Programs

Kefa Academy

Twenty of our most at-risk boys living, studying, and playing soccer together - while forming lifelong friendships and preparing for their future.

Discipleship

We have been transformed by the love and grace of Jesus. We long for our youth to experience that same love and transformation.

Education + Vocational Training

On the field. Off the field. In the classroom. In vocational training schools. In our own film school. Education is the key for our youth to leave poverty.

Family Reconciliation

Many of our youth come from broken families. We work hard to reconcile our kids to their families to the degree that it is possible.

Female Empowerment

Empowering females to not only play sports, but to be leaders and pioneers. Empowering females transforms communities.

Leadership Training

Raising up local leaders to be coaches and chaplains at our sites to pour in our youth. Many of the leaders in our programs started in our programs!
