ABOUT US
NextGen Foundation: Transforming African Lives Through Sports
At NextGen Foundation, we believe sport has the power to change lives, but true champions are built when education, health, and opportunity come together.
We are a Christian-founded organization and see this work as part of serving God by caring for children, developing character, and restoring hope through sport.
Founded in 2020 as the social-impact arm of NextGen Sports Academy, our mission is to open doors for children from low-income and underserved communities by giving them access to quality education, daily nutrition, healthcare, and world-class sports training.
Our vision is a generation of young African champions, not just in sport, but in life, who are educated, healthy, disciplined, and empowered to lead change in their communities.
OUR PILLARS
Our Approach
Our Approach
We use sport as the entry point, but our goal goes far beyond the playing field. Every child under our care receives integrated support that nurtures both their talent and their future:
Education – We pay full school fees, provide uniforms, books, and materials, and ensure every child stays in school and learns without interruption.
Health & Nutrition – Over 5,000 nutritious meals are served every year, alongside regular health checkups and wellness support to keep children active, focused, and thriving.
Sport and Athletic Development
Through structured training, competition pathways, and leadership development in sport, we build disciplined and resilient athletes who learn teamwork, focus, and personal responsibility on and off the field.Mentorship and Character Development
Through intentional mentorship grounded in Christian values, we support young people in developing character, purpose, and moral responsibility.
By combining these four pillars, we turn sport into a gateway to education, health, and empowerment — developing champions who carry the values of perseverance, integrity, and leadership into every part of their lives.

Our Impact
The results speak for themselves.
Over 50 children from Kibera and similar low-income communities now receive full support including school fees, meals, coaching, and mentorship
Academic performance has improved as children stay in school longer and focus better in class.
Health outcomes are stronger, with fewer absences and greater energy and confidence.
Athletes like Hope (14), once on the verge of dropping out, now lead their teams, excel in class, and inspire others to dream big.
Each success story reminds us that when we invest in one child, we lift an entire family and strengthen an entire community.
