NextGen Foundation: Transforming Young African Lives through sports
Our Vision
At NextGen Foundation, we envision a world where sports empower youth to reach their full potential, driving well-being and social equity across all communities. We believe in the transformative power of sports to change lives and inspire hope. By establishing a high-performance environment, we enable young athletes to explore multiple sports, discover their unique talents, and thrive in the discipline best suited for them.
Committed to social inclusion we offer scholarships to underprivileged groups and ensuring opportunities for personal growth and development. Through mentorship, top-tier coaching, and a supportive environment, we empower every athlete to succeed on the global stage, shaping the future of sports for all.
Our Vision
Our mission is to empower 5,000 young people—especially those from underprivileged backgrounds—by 2030 through the transformative power of sports. We believe that sports are a catalyst for personal growth and character-building, opening doors to opportunities that extend beyond the playing field. By providing access to comprehensive sports programs, we aim to equip youth with the skills, discipline, and opportunities they need to lead fulfilling and successful lives.
By making sports accessible to children from all walks of life, we foster talent, unlock potential that might otherwise go unnoticed, and instill values such as teamwork, perseverance, and leadership. Committed to harnessing the unifying and empowering nature of sports, we strive to break down socioeconomic barriers, drive positive change, and shape a brighter future for our community.

All of Nextgens projects contribute to the achievement of the following SDGs:
Health
Mental Health Matters
Mental health is a crucial aspect of overall well-being, and our programs are designed to nurture it and address the well-being and any mental concern.
Gender Equality
We believe that sports can be a powerful tool for achieving gender equality. Our programs ensure that girls have the same opportunities as boys to participate, excel, and enjoy the benefits of sports.
OUR VISION
Athletics is not so much about the legs. It’s about the heart and mind” – Eliud Kipchoge.
Our dream is to positively change children’s lives through sports. We aim to create opportunities by partnering with corporations, high schools, international sports academies, and universities. By doing this, we can help children focus on harnessing their talents and pursuing their education without worrying about financial constraints.
Our promise is to provide support and guidance as they navigate through life, impacting them positively
Our Impact
Currently, our scholarship program supports over 40 talented children from low-income areas. Through our multi-sport curriculum encompassing soccer, rugby, basketball, swimming, and athletics, we aim for Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD).
Our goal is to vastly increase the number of children we can support through partnerships with corporations and individual sponsors. Not only do we aim to provide children with the opportunity to engage in sports, but also to learn important social and moral values such as loyalty, dedication, sacrifice, teamwork, sportsmanship, honesty, fairness, fair play, justice, and responsibility.
EpoweHER Girl Accelerator program
Sports as a powerful instrument to instigate positive changes in girls' lives.
EmpowerHER Girl Accelerator program
The NextGen Foundation is currently at the helm of the innovative EmpowerHER Girls Accelerator Program. This trailblazing initiative aims to bolster the presence of girls in the sports sector, recognizing the pivotal role sports play in the personal and societal development of young girls.
One of the standout features of the Program is the EmpowHER Girls Ambassadors Football Cup. The Cup provides young female athletes with an opportunity to demonstrate their skills, grow their network, and gain invaluable support and guidance.
