DBA Africa and Everybodies Revolutionise Youth Nutrition

At DBA Africa, we believe that talent is universal, however the opportunity isn’t. To bridge this gap, we try to focus on holistic youth development, ensuring that every aspiring athlete in our programmes has the physical foundation required to succeed. Central to this mission is our steadfast commitment to impact partnerships that go beyond the surface level to address the fundamental needs of our players.

Since 2024, DBA Africa has cultivated a transparent and robust relationship with Everybodies, a nutrition company that shares our vision for empowering the next generation. What began with a single visit from Everybodies Founder Evren Ozka, who was immediately moved by the sheer enthusiasm and hunger for growth displayed by Kenyan athletes, has blossomed into a vital pillar of our academy structure.

Fueling the Future

This collaboration has fundamentally transformed the daily operations of our youth development initiatives. Through the generous support of Everybodies, who donate a % from every product sale, we now provide consistent access to quality, nutrient-dense meals across our diverse regional hubs:

• Western Kenya: Supporting aspiring athletes in our dedicated girls-only academy.

Impact Beyond the Field

The results of this partnership are measurable and profound. Before this initiative, many athletes struggled with headaches and fatigue due to a lack of proper post-session sustenance. Today, that narrative has changed.

"Feeding our young female athletes post-training has been an amazing addition to the programmes," notes Philip Wamae, Head of Academies at DBA Africa. "We have seen a significant increase in academy attendance, a reduction in injuries, and fewer nutrition-related health cases."

By prioritising nutrition, we have unlocked a new level of energy and concentration within our DBA academies. Our athletes are no longer just participating, they are thriving, arriving at every session happy, enthusiastic, and ready to perform.

Join the Movement

We understand that building a well-rounded athlete requires a village. Our success with Everybodies serves as a blueprint for how strategic partnerships can change lives. We invite like-minded organizations to join this athletic movement, helping us provide the comprehensive support our youth need to turn their sporting dreams into reality.

At DBA Africa, we know that talent can only take an athlete so far, the real fuel for greatness starts in the kitchen.

Since 2024, our partnership with Everybodies has been a game-changer for our youth development programs. What started as a visit from Evren Ozka has turned into a mission to ensure no athlete ever steps onto the pitch on an empty stomach.

The Impact So Far:

The results speak for themselves:

• ✅ Fewer Injuries: Better recovery means more time on the field.
• ✅ Higher Energy: Increased concentration and enthusiasm during drills.
• ✅ Better Health: A massive reduction in headaches and nutrition-related fatigue.

"Feeding young female athletes post-training has been an amazing addition... we have seen a great increase in our academy's retention." Philip Wamae, Head of Academies.

Join the Movement

We are building well-rounded, supported athletes, but we can’t do it alone. We are looking for more partners to join the DBA Africa movement and help us empower the next generation of African sporting legends.
