Our Mission: To build, serve the homeless and other children to have a profession in soccer, education and become responsible role models in the society
What We Do: We have four components of the project; social centre, soccer team, orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and education.
Social centre:
The social centre is currently running on rented a premise of a ¼ acre land with two halls and seven rooms.
Parts of the land with no structure on, we grow vegetables for both consumption and for sale and also rear chicken and goats.
In one hall we have various activities taking place e.g. people watch Dstv, shoot pool, buy snacks, play board games while in the other one, we use it holding meetings as well as a tuition room for the boys.
They are all for income generating activities which help in part of running the project.
The other rooms are for three volunteers, five students, a store, a library and an office
The volunteers see to it that the activities within the social centre operate well, while the project coordinator sources for funds and also reports to the Board members of the project on monthly basis.
We have a total of 8 members living in the center.
The three volunteers are form four leavers who are waiting to go for post secondary education on availability of funds
Most of the boys we have are orphans and vulnerable.
Soccer team
The centre has more than 200 members who are both youths and kids ages between 5 and 30 years old, which form the soccer team that practices and plays tournament as Oyugis United FC.
We also allow the non-members in the center whenever they want to watch football matches, play pool, enjoy refreshments or play other board games available in the center
Soccer team: The soccer team is composed of over 200 boys who are also members of the social center.
Most of them are in primary school while others are in secondary school and the rest are either out of school due to lack of finance for secondary school or have cleared form four.
The boys in secondary school train on their grounds while the other players train in a nearby primary school.
The over twenty comprises of players that are mature and the aged ones that are over thirty years. We are currently playing in the distict level and taking part in tournaments.
OVC:
We have 8 orphans and vulnerable boys living in the social center.
Since most of the players are orphans, we provide support to their caregivers and support is given from their home.
We have been able to give goat/sheep, banana seedlings and chicken to OVCs from the projects that we run within. We help build houses for OVCs who have inadequite houses. We do alot of training related to OVCs Pychososial, legal, health and nutrition, agriculture, memory book etc.
Education: We help take those that have challanges going to school because of fees or any other reason attend school and collage or do a couse.
