Director Bio

Ryan Sarafolean I met the Director of the Kibera Girls Soccer Academy (KGSA) in 2006 and ever since then I was inspired by his vision and passion to work for gender equality. I started the KGSA Foundation (US nonprofit) to provide support to KGSA and have never looked back. KGSA is an amazing place, a life-changing place and we'd love to have you become a part of the team!

Accommodation Info

We can provide home-stay experiences outside of Kibera, but within walking distance, if that is something you are interested in. It's a great way to work on your swahili too!
