As an organization we participate in various sporting activities like soccer for both boys and girls and netball for girls. This we normally do during Kenyan school holidays that normally comes in April, August and December.

Sporting activities have helped us as teachers to teach children important aspects of life that sometimes are never acquired in school. Some of the lessons sporting activities impart to children at the center are:

 1. Sporting activities at the center promote peace, love and cohesion among the children who come from different communities that have for once fought for resources like land in Kibera .

2. Sporting activities at the center also help in keeping the children busy. Bearing in mind that these children are normally not at school during the holidays and can engage in vices like alcoholism, drug addiction and child labor. Such activities interfere with the future of our children, something that that we as an organization crave for.

4. Through sports, the children learn socialization, this enables them to freely share and communicate, overcome shyness and be philanthropic, this happens through sharing equipments such as balls.
