Why Nakupenda?

Nakupenda  was founded on the principle to love our youth. The raw talent and abilities of young athletes require the right equipment, training, and most importantly visuals for how to shape a successful career unique to every arising star. There is a simple formula to becoming a successful athlete: dream it, be it, do it. Nakupenda aims to support young athletes through each phase. By bringing the high level athletes to African soil, the goal is to inspire through personal experiences. Hosting clinics throughout Africa to impart invaluable knowledge of athletics and skills required to excel. Finally, our athletes have pooled together resources to bring back to Africa. From knee pads to basketball shoes, every camper can expect a gift from Nakupenda to jumpstart their future and reach their potential in their respective sports.

Nakupenda’s youth camps came from inspiration from the many developing efforts to greater mobilize and empower the lives of African peoples around the continent of Africa.

The camp is a vehicle to do just that. By inviting other African athletes from around the world to host and assist in clinics, we are providing a space where kids can be assisted by those who were once in their shoes and are now at the top of their professions.

This is not just about athletics, this is a space for young people to foster unique experiences and continue to bring value of full experiences. Amongst the experience with athletes, Nakupenda looks to be a provider for equipment for these athletes - gifting anything from knee pads, and shoes, to the actual balls needed to play the sport, Nakupenda aims to gift every camper with gear to take home.
