Every child deserves to play, grow, and belong.
Team sports drive wellbeing. Children who participate regularly experience lasting physical, social, mental and emotional benefits.
Yet across Africa, too many kids are missing out: 80-90% of teens do not meet recommended activity levels.
Access to sport is limited by poverty and malnutrition, child labour, lack of facilities, gender norms and more.
Every child deserves a safe, encouraging place to play freely, discover their strengths, and feel included.
Sasa runs FIFA-standard football programmes where access to high quality sport is uneven, supported by health initiatives.
We make sport a meaningful part of growing up for kids who love to play.

OUR MISSION
Strengthening children’s wellbeing and life skills through sport.
OUR VISION
Resilient young people shaping their futures with dignity and confidence.
OUR APPROACH

We’re in Rwanda
Rwanda is a young country, with nearly half our population under 18 – an extraordinary foundation for the future.
We work across the Southern and Western provinces, including some of the country’s most remote communities in the Nyungwe rainforest, as well as in the capital.
We invest in equitable access, so that opportunities to experience high quality sports are not defined by geography or circumstance.
