Obama
The Obama neighborhood is about a half-hour drive from downtown Nairobi. More than 80 children receive training here weekly under the guidance of our dedicated coach, Mandela. He joined the foundation as a child.
Besides providing training, Mandela also provides packed lunches when the children participate in tournaments at external locations. He is also actively involved in expanding the program in the neighborhood, exploring collaborations with local schools to involve them in the initiative on a regular basis.
