FEBA Story
Through FEBA, Kayole, once a hot bed of crime and radicalization, is now home to young players who represent the country from high school to college and National Team levels. FEBA representation is in basketball and civic engagement through advocacy programs and leadership development.
We believe in building our youth to build our community and country as a whole. To achieve this, sports has been our main tool for transformative impact in our community. We have excelled in creating social impact through sports. When FEBA was founded in 2011 as a Community Based Organization (CBO), our main agenda was crime prevention because we were losing many of our peers through arrests or death in gun exchange with police. 8 years on, we have grown into a multi-facet program that focuses on education, psychosocial support, advocacy, leadership, events management and most recently, sports business.
FEBA got a major boost when the Ministry of Interior Security mapped FEBA as one of safe spaces for children and youth in Nairobi.
