Objective & spearheads
The statutory objective of KYHD is to offer underprivileged children a new perspective through hockey. Our foundation has been officially designated as a Public Benefit Institution (ANBI) from January 1, 2021.
The Kenya Youth Hockey Development program has five spearheads, to which we passionately devote ourselves every day. These are the main lines of the policy plan:
- Endorsing weekly youth hockey programs at several locations in Nairobi with transport, catering, first aid kits and assistance on the ground.
- Distribution of hockey equipment such as sticks, shoes, goalie gear and balls is distributed to support collaborating clubs and communities and their young players: through collaboration with Dutch clubs and kindly sponsored purchases.
- Partnering with secondary boarding schools that provide scholarships to talented players who participate in the program.
- Educating local trainers and coaches, stimulating sustainable development and growth within the local community.
- Computer learning courses to broaden the children’s horizons and enhance their educational opportunities.
These initiatives aim to provide opportunities, development, and support to disadvantaged children, with the aim of helping them build a better future. In order to achieve our statutory goals, we work with a cost covering budget. Our income consists exclusively of gifts and (other) donations, in cash and/or in kind, from persons and parties known to us. The assets that we generate are managed by the three-member board of the Foundation and are used exclusively to achieve our statutory goals. The Foundation has no employees, and its remuneration policy is strict: no remuneration is given to board members and other volunteers.
