Embarking on a safeguarding journey is a critical step for any organization working with children and youth. Safeguarding is about creating environments where children feel safe, protected, and empowered to thrive. At Green-Kenya, safeguarding is at the heart of our mission to nurture positive change through sports.
Safeguarding involves protecting children from harm, abuse, and neglect while promoting their well-being. It’s a proactive commitment to ensure every child has access to safe spaces where they can grow and develop. For Green-Kenya, this means embedding safeguarding into every aspect of our programs, from football academies to community initiatives like the Social Impact Program

Green-Kenya takes a holistic approach to safeguarding by prioritizing child safety and empowerment. Here’s how we’re making it a reality: All our staff and coaches undergo training to identify risks, respond effectively, and create safe environments. Our activities are designed to amplify children’s voices, allowing them to express their needs and contribute to their safety. Parents, caregivers, external partners and community members are key partners in our safeguarding efforts.
Organizations that prioritize safeguarding not only protect children but also create conditions for them to thrive. Safeguarding builds trust, enhances participation, and ensures that every child has the chance to succeed without fear of harm.
Starting your safeguarding journey requires commitment and collaboration. At Green-Kenya, we believe safeguarding is a shared responsibility. By combining community involvement, robust policies, and the power of sports, we are creating safe spaces for children to learn, grow, and lead.
Whether you are an individual or part of an organization, your journey starts with a simple step: prioritizing the safety and well-being of children. Together, we can build a future where every child feels valued, protected, and inspired to reach their potential.
