Nakupenda. It translates to I love you. Our mission is to show that love to the next generation of Africa through our presence. Nakupenda is the bridge connecting the athletic success of the African diaspora to its roots. African athletes can repurpose their excellence by inspiring the prospective youth through community-building events, hosting sports clinics,and sharing intimate perspectives of their success. No matter what country or sport is being represented, we all carry the pride of Africa with us. It’s a social responsibility to give back to what makes each of us talented athletes: our identity.

Nakupenda can guide the increasing number of talented athletes by providing safe and accessible playing environments, equipment, and necessary athletic education. It is a multi-faceted platform for the African diaspora to be unified by their athletic success to give back to their communities
