🌍🇮🇹 Meet Giacomo! 💙

It’s been a little over a week since Giacomo joined the Better Me Kenya family, and honestly… it already feels like he’s been here forever! 😄

A free spirit, kind heart, and an effortlessly fun person to have around, Giacomo has brought so much good energy into our spaces. ✨

We’re happy to have you with us, Giacomo! Here’s to meaningful connections, new adventures, lots of laughter, and making an impact together. 🫶🏾🌍

Happy Tuesday ✨💛

For children growing up in the informal settlements of Kisumu, sport is more than a game. It is a space to belong, build confidence, learn discipline, and discover what they are capable of.

Through our #play4change programme, Better Me Kenya uses sport as a pathway to personal development and stronger communities. Training sessions and tournaments create opportunities for children to develop teamwork, leadership, resilience, and life skills while enjoying the simple joy of play.

But meaningful participation requires more than football. It requires safe spaces, trained coaches, equipment, and consistent support.

Your contribution can help make these opportunities possible.

⚽ €25 — Provides a football kit for one child
⚽ €50 — Supports a group training session
⚽ €150 — Supports monthly sports activities for 10 children

Every contribution helps create spaces where children can play, grow, and feel that they belong.

Give the joy of sport. Support a child’s potential. Build a stronger community.

Behind every child’s progress is more than a schoo

Behind every child’s progress is more than a school uniform, a classroom, or a meal. It is the support, care, and opportunities that make it possible for them to grow with confidence and hope. 💛

At Better Me Kenya, we believe every child deserves the chance to learn, stay healthy, discover their strengths, and feel that they belong.

Through our programmes, we work alongside families and communities to support children in meaningful ways:

📚 Education: Creating opportunities for children to remain in school, access learning resources, and pursue their dreams.

🥗 Nutrition: Supporting access to nutritious meals that help children learn, play, and grow.

🩺 Health and Wellbeing: Promoting healthy development through care, life skills, and spaces where children can feel safe and supported.

🤝 Community, Sports and Self-Development: Building supportive communities through sports, mentorship, life skills, and creative activities that nurture teamwork, confidence, leadership, and personal growth.

Real change is built through consistent support and collective action. Every contribution, partnership, and act of care helps create a stronger foundation for a child’s future.

Together, we can help children not only overcome challenges, but discover the possibilities ahead of them.

A meal today. A stronger tomorrow. 💛

Through our Meals for Children in Kenya programme, Better Me Kenya provides nutritious, freshly prepared meals to children at the Korando Educational Centre, helping create a supportive environment where they can learn, play, and grow.

For many of the children, the meals we provide are an important source of daily nourishment. Your support helps us continue providing food with care and dignity, ensuring that children have the nourishment they need to participate in school and community activities.

Every contribution makes a difference. A donation of €1.70 can feed one child for a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner), while larger contributions help us reach more children.

🍽️ 15 children — €25
🍽️ 30 children — €50
🍽️ 60 children — €100
🍽️ 120 children — €200

Support our Meals for Children in Kenya programme and help us provide nutritious meals to children in need.

Together, we can nourish potential, strengthen communities, and help children thrive. 🌱💛

Better Me Kenya was honoured to be part of the 3rd

Better Me Kenya was honoured to be part of the 3rd Edition of the Kisumu Children Remand Home Fun Day, held from 21–22 August, organised through our #Playforchange initiative alongside fellow organisations, community partners, and youth-led initiatives.

For two days, the children stepped away from their usual routine and into a space filled with play, creativity, friendship, learning, and belonging. Through special joint sessions, they had the opportunity to interact with school-going children from different organisations, share meals, play games, participate in sports, explore arts and crafts, and simply enjoy being together.

Through Play for Change, we believe that play is more than recreation—it is a powerful way to bring children and communities together, foster social connection, build confidence, and create spaces where every child can feel included and valued.

Beyond the activities, these moments created something even more meaningful—a reminder that every child deserves to feel seen, valued, included, and part of a community that cares.

We are grateful to the Kisumu Children Remand Home Partners and all organisations and community stakeholders who came together to make this experience possible.

Because sometimes, creating a sense of belonging starts with something as simple as playing, learning, sharing a meal, and laughing together. 💛

Every child deserves a reason to smile. Every child deserves to belong. 🌱

We had the privilege of hosting the FKF (Football

We had the privilege of hosting the FKF (Football Kenya Federation 🇰🇪⚽️) Kisumu West Youth Representative and the FKF Kisumu County Vice Chairperson for a productive courtesy visit.

The meeting came at the perfect time as we continue planning our upcoming Play4Change activities, proudly supported by the @fifafoundation . Together, we explored ways to strengthen our partnership and harness the power of football to create safe spaces where children can learn, grow, and thrive.

At Better Me Kenya, we believe that sport is more than just a game it’s a powerful tool for mentorship, life skills development, inclusion, and positive social change. By working hand in hand with key stakeholders like the Football Kenya Federation, we are building a stronger grassroots football ecosystem that empowers young people both on and off the pitch.
We look forward to turning these conversations into meaningful action and creating lasting impact in our communities.

*Celebrating 5 Years of Impact, Partnership & Community!*

What an incredible celebration!

We were honoured to join HEDSO as they celebrated five amazing years of service, impact, and community transformation. The event was truly a reflection of the passion, dedication, and teamwork that has shaped their journey.

For us at *Better Me Kenya*, it was also a beautiful opportunity to celebrate a partnership that has grown over the years through social initiatives, wellness sessions, community activities, and many other impactful engagements.

A huge congratulations to Director Ojuki and the entire HEDSO team on this remarkable milestone.

Everything about the day was amazing the energy, the connections, the celebrations, and most importantly, the spirit of collaboration. We are grateful to have shared this journey with you and look forward to many more years of working together, creating impact, and transforming lives.

Happy 5th Anniversary, HEDSO! 🥂🎊 Here's to many more years of impact and partnership!
