• Empowering Communities Through Sport

    The Beyond the Pitch project is a community-driven initiative that empowers individuals to embrace a healthier lifestyle through the joy of sports. Tailored to the specific needs of local residents, our primary objective is to build relationships with community groups, encouraging them to get active and participate in football-based activities.

  • Breaking Down Barriers.

    While the health benefits of physical activity are undeniable, we recognize that barriers often hinder participation. Our team works collaboratively with community groups and partners to develop innovative solutions, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, has access to opportunities to engage in sports.

  • Transforming Lives.

    Beyond the Pitch supports YIDP's mission of fostering transformational behavior change. We aim to inspire a sense of pride and ownership in communities across Kenya, encouraging residents to contribute to stronger, thriving communities through active lifestyles.

  • Reaching New Audiences.

    We focus on reaching new audiences in areas with high levels of physical inactivity. Our Beyond the Pitch initiative has made a commitment to the residents of Kasarani, Nyakach, and Homabay, offering weekly opportunities for football, tennis, and volleyball-related activities within a 10-minute walk from their homes.

  • Engaging and Empowering.

    Our sessions, ranging from soccercise and tennis to volleyball and walking football, are designed to be light-hearted, sociable, and enjoyable. We employ a supportive, step-by-step approach, guiding individuals into football-based activities and empowering them to take ownership of their experience. We also welcome new, self-sustainable ideas from community groups to further enhance our programs.
