Founded in 2008 in Chile, Futbol Mas has grown to diversify its programme in different contexts ranging from disadvantaged and refugee camps.

At the moment in Kenya we work in several communities in Nairobi, with strong roots in Mathare and Kibera, where we started in 2017 with 400 children. We are currently reaching 1,130 children every week. Through partnerships with the United Nations, we have also worked with refugee communities in Nairobi, Kakuma and Dadaab, which expanded our reach further. Our vision is to create sustainability and scale up where we already are and convince partners around Kenya and beyond to include more communities in the Futbol Mas family.

Bringing in your passion, creativity and skills, you will take the lead in this position in a key programme as part of a strategic partnership with the United Nations working with refugee and internally displaced communities, families and children in Libya.
