Sport-based delivery
Football sessions, tournaments, school outreach, mentorship circles, and referral pathways that turn sport into a safe space for discipline, belonging, health awareness, and leadership.
Sport for Development
Safe sport pathways for youth, girls, and community change.
CYEF is positioned as a Kenya-based Sport for Development implementation partner, using football, mentorship, safeguarding, and evidence-led programming to strengthen youth opportunity.

Partnership position
A practical local partner for INGO and foundation-funded sport programs.
Based on current Sport for Development funder requirements, CYEF should be presented as the local S4D implementation and technical partner in Kenya. The strongest role is to co-design, co-deliver, document, and localize sport-based programming with an eligible lead INGO or foundation partner.
This page makes that readiness visible: local reach, youth trust, football programming, safeguarding commitments, gender-responsive outcomes, and monitoring practices that funders can assess quickly.
Program model
Three components funders can understand and measure.
Capacity strengthening
Coach, mentor, teacher, and volunteer orientation on inclusive sport, safeguarding, positive masculinity, consent, youth protection, and values-based facilitation.
Learning and uptake
Routine activity tracking, feedback, story collection, partner reflection sessions, and practical reporting so learning can improve future programs and partner systems.
Gender equality through sport
Outcomes that align with SDG 5 and community realities.
- Safer participation: reduce harassment, violence, and harmful gender norms through supervised sport and mentorship.
- Access and confidence: improve girls' and young women's access to mentorship, education support, leadership roles, and peer networks.
- Social cohesion: bring young people, schools, caregivers, and local actors together around safe, inclusive, youth-centered sport.
Funder readiness
What CYEF can bring into a formal S4D partnership.
Local implementation capacity
Community trust, school relationships, youth mobilization, field coordination, and football-based engagement through Chipukizi FC.
Safeguarding commitments
Public child protection statement, media consent expectations, reporting channels, supervised access, and partner-facing due diligence readiness.
MEAL discipline
Baseline/endline thinking, participant registers, activity logs, feedback surveys, indicator tracking, photo consent, and change story collection.
Budget participation
Clear local work packages that can be costed transparently and, where required, receive a defined share of project implementation funding.
Girls and youth focus
Gender-responsive sport design that can include girls' participation, positive masculinity sessions, school retention conversations, and mentorship pathways.
Partner learning
Structured reflection with INGO partners so local lessons influence program design, organizational practice, and future Sport for Development strategy.
Due diligence checklist
Documents partners commonly request before funding.
CYEF should keep these files updated and ready for serious funder conversations. Where documents are still pending client approval, the website presents a responsible request pathway instead of publishing unverified files.
