About RYSA
RYSA (Runda Youth Sports Association) is a non-profit founded in 1996 to support children and youth growing up in Githogoro and Mji Wa Huruma, Nairobi.
We use football as the entry point, but our mission goes further: education support, mentorship, and safe spaces that help young people stay in school and build long-term opportunities.
We believe progress is built through consistency, community and care.

Rooted in the community
RYSA is built on long-term presence and local trust. We work directly in the communities where the children live, together with parents, schools and local leaders.
Our strength lies in consistency. Showing up every week. Setting clear expectations. Creating routines that make it easier for young people to choose school, teamwork and responsibility.
