Only those who get a chance, can use it! The chance, where and under which social circumstances a child is born, favors some more than others. ACAKORO works in accordance with “Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)” to achieve a more just world. The children from the slums in Nairobi grow up in extreme poverty and are socially highly disadvantaged. Without help it is barely possible to escape the cycle of misery that reigns within the slums and that is characterized by violence, hunger, abuse and crime. 150 boys and girls are supervised at ACAKORO. They are enabled an upbringing that, under the possible circumstances, enables personal development. They learn how to develop goals and dreams, how to work for them and not be discouraged. Through the combination of playful and academic learning, paired with social guidance, the adolescents can take their fate into their own hands. In a lot of cases, ACAKORO graduates succeed in leaving the slums and create a livelihood for themselves. They use their chance which, without ACAKORO, they couldn’t have.

All of ACAKORO’s projects contribute to the achievement of the following SDGs:

School, sports and a professional administration make up the core sectors at ACAKORO! Together, the 3 sectors ensure ACAKORO fulfill its goal: to give children in the slums perspective of a better life!

The sports sector comprises, among others, football activities particularly aspects of personality development and social inclusiveness, and assist the children in integrating the positive values of football in their daily lives off the football pitch!

The education sector deals with academic training and ensures that every child under the ACAKORO program graduates from high school. It also caters for professional training. During the last one, all graduates from ACAKORO were offered the possibility to train for a profession and through that, received a great head start in their respective industries! A professional and transparent administration serves as the key to the longstanding existence of ACAKORO. Professionalism ensures that all children are supervised in the best possible manner and the financial resources are used in the most efficient way. Absolute transparency sees to it that every Euro gets to where it belongs.
