Edoovillage #2752 - Kenya, Nairobi: Acakoro Football Academy

The ACAKORO Football project was founded in 2013 in Korogocho slum, Nairobi, Kenya and was run by both the “Austrian ACAKORO” aid organization and the Kenyan association “ACAKORO NGO”. The goal of all these efforts is to grant academic as well as sports training to children who are socially strongly disadvantaged, by football serving as a life skill.
150 socially strongly disadvantaged boys and girls between the age of 7 and 17 are supervised in ACAKORO by 14 local employees. All children are enabled to attend school in one of the 4 partner schools, by getting their school fees paid and getting provision of school uniforms and school materials. Other than that, ACAKORO offers regular private tutoring. Academic and social education is the most important goal at ACAKORO.
Daily football training with all necessary equipments and character development core elements, a warm meal, safe transport home as well as medical care of all the children sees to it that the children are fully cared for and have the possibility to experience their childhood in a child-suitable manner.

Currently, Acakoro hosts one own classroom and one computer lab (as pictured), containing 8 devices:


2023, the construction for an own school was kicked off (“Internat”). The new school will allow children to be supervised and in the safe environment of the NGO 24/7. The site is located in Homa Bay County. The entire building is estimated to be finished by July 1st, 2024. The devices will be needed and in use ideally starting july 1st 2024, respectively.

All laptops are designated to be used in this new school and within its computer lab.
