Sponsorship
Creating a Firm Foundation For At-Risk Youth
Kefa Academy
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.
