Who We Are

DBA Africa is a purpose-driven PBO based in East Africa, harnessing the power of sport to transform lives and communities. Every day on the playing field, we see young people gaining confidence, learning teamwork, and discovering their potential to lead. From shy girls finding their voice as team captains to at-risk boys choosing the structure of practice over the streets, sport is our hook. What we're truly enabling is resilience, respect, and unity — essential life skills that will make a lasting difference in their futures. We believe in the power of sport to change lives and uplift communities, one game at a time.

Meet Our Team

DBA Africa’s 4 Core Pillars

Changing Lives Through Sport

We empower youth through a balanced approach to sport. From engaging thousands in grassroots programs to nurturing high-potential talent with holistic support, we prioritize well-being and education. Our mission: to shape well-rounded individuals through the power of sport.

Empowering Girls & Women

We actively break down barriers for girls in sport, establishing teams, providing safe facilities and equipment, and working with communities to champion female participation. Sport builds confidence, courage, and leadership, empowering young women to challenge gender norms, pursue education and careers, and take on leadership roles in their communities and beyond.

Pathways from Grassroots to Greatness

Our programs are designed and delivered by East African leaders, ensuring they genuinely reflect local needs and build trust. This community-rooted approach, in partnership with schools, federations, and government bodies, drives lasting impact for girls and women.

Integrity & Local Leadership

This pillar embodies DBA Africa's core belief: sport is a powerful tool for education, empowerment, and opening doors. With integrity at our heart, we faithfully execute our mission to build brighter futures for young people, from local tournaments to scholarship opportunities, firmly believing in sport's transformative power.

What Makes Us Different
