The Jitambue – “it’s all about me” mentorship program is a sports for development program that targets school going children in both primary and secondary schools who shows some signs or behaviors that put them at risk of being serial absentees or drop out of school either due to substance abuse, poor academic performances, abuse at home and at school or in the community and also largely due to extreme poverty levels being experienced in our community.

The young leaders commonly referred to as the Game Changers from Amani Kibera are trained to deliver regular essential life skill sessions and teach important social topics through sports and play with the aim of helping the participants to discover who they are and empower them to embrace and adopt new positive behaviors. This is made possible through guidance and partnership with the https://futbolmas.org/en/kenya/ organization, International Sports Alliance and Kite Oxford organization.

The sessions also engages the Green card philosophy, where unlike in football where the yellow and red cards are used to punish bad deeds, the Green card appreciates and rewards good deeds from the children and youth whenever they do positive things or things worth sharing they are given a Green card to motivate them and encourage positive behaviours.
