Nawezaa Sports and Mentorship Initiative is a growing initiative focused on sports and mentorship for young people from marginalized communities, including refugees and host communities.
Nawezaa is a Swahili word meaning "I Can," reflecting the spirit of our initiative: that despite coming from marginalized or displaced areas, every child deserves a chance to live their sports dream.
