Our story
Simba Yetu Foundation grew from a personal calling to help boys overcome absent role models, limited opportunity, and rising school dropouts. We believe every child deserves guidance, mentorship, and a supportive community.
Instead of focusing on what is wrong, we focus on what is possible: a movement where sport builds character, mentorship builds hope, and families and communities come together to nurture future leaders.
Why we exist
Our programs
Each program addresses a different dimension of the boy child crisis with mentorship, sport, education, leadership and emotional development.
Our flagship program targets 100 vulnerable boys annually across rural and urban Kenya. Each boy receives weekly sports training, one-on-one mentorship, leadership workshops, education support, nutritious meals and emotional intelligence coaching.
Sports change lives. Through boxing, football, athletics and team sport, boys learn discipline, teamwork, communication and how to win with grace and lose with dignity.
Preparing boys for healthier relationships, emotional maturity and responsible fatherhood by teaching them accountability, compassion and what strong leadership looks like.
A multi-day immersive experience during school holidays that combines leadership challenges, sports tournaments, career planning, team-building and life skills.
