Who We Are

Talanta Africa Football Academy (TAFA) is a community-based non-profit organization in Kasarani, Nairobi, Kenya. Founded in 2019 by three dedicated teachers, we provide holistic support to vulnerable children and youth.

What began as a simple football academy to offer an alternative to street life has evolved into a comprehensive youth development organization addressing education, skills training, mentorship, and spiritual growth.
