Our Approach

Slum kids, Football, Challenges, Change

Our Approach

We aim, and have succeeded – in presenting our teams in several major tournaments and leagues to representatives of primary and secondary schools with the authority to offer sport scholarships. By this, until today Watoto Wasoka has managed to facilitate access to education for more than 200 kids, offering them prospects that would otherwise have been forsaken for them.

Through dedicated events we reach out to the kids and communities in the slums and villages. Our highlight in terms of turnout has been the 2014 Football Camp, for which more than 1,500 kids joined us for six days. We aim at integrating the best talents into our teams, offering them the path to further educational, career and personal development.
Currently, we offer regular free training to dozens of boys and girls, host tournaments and camps welcoming thousands of children from across the country and constantly widening our cooperation network with other institutions and organizations. Our internal soccer teams of Sparta 09 are our pride and the most successful matchmaker for the future of our kids.
