Creating a Firm Foundation For At-Risk Youth

Kefa Academy - Athletes Needing Sponsorship

Academy Athletes are some of the most vulnerable athletes in the Kefa Project. They live at Kefa Academy where they are cared for by staff and have food, shelter, training, medical, clothing, and education provided. Every sponsor receives hand-written letters, pictures, and more from their athlete. To learn more about our different sponsorship levels click here.
Rachid loves inventing weird dance moves and doing impersonations of the staff. He's one of the first ones to invent crazy games and to drag his friends into joining. He is a catalyst of fun.
