Play. Learn. Thrive.

More Than Just a Game

Ong'icha Soccer Academy (OSA) was founded in 2021 by Zachary Obiero with a simple but powerful vision: to rescue children from vulnerability and give them hope through football, education, and love. What began as a small initiative has now emerged into a vibrant community of empowerment projects, transforming lives and nurturing the potential of children across our region. In a community where poverty, school dropouts, early pregnancies, drug abuse, and neglect threaten the future of many children, OSA has become a safe haven where dreams can thrive. Using football as a tool, we go beyond the game—mentoring, supporting education, advocating for human rights, and including children with disabilities. Our mission is to nurture discipline, confidence, and purpose, helping every child realize their full potential. Our success is not measured by trophies alone but by the lives we touch: children returning to school, girls empowered and protected, talents discovered, and families strengthened. Every smile, every goal scored, and every child who believes in a brighter future is proof of what is possible when compassion meets commitment. Today, OSA stands strong thanks to faith, community support, and partners who believe that every child deserves a chance. This is our story—and we are only just beginning.

OSA uses football as a doorway to teach discipline, teamwork, and leadership, while supporting school attendance, nutrition, mental health, and agribusiness skills.

👁️ Vision

To build a generation of young people who Play, Learn and Thrive — empowered through education, health care, life skills, agribusiness, and community-driven projects.

🚀 Mission

Ong’icha Soccer Academy (OSA) Kenya exists to empower children and youth through football by developing talent, supporting education and life skills, promoting health and discipline, and safeguarding human rights—including equality, dignity, child protection, inclusion of children with disabilities, and equal opportunity—using sport as a tool for positive social change in our community.

We prioritise the safety, well-being and development of every child. Everything we do is designed to uplift young people.

Every child — boys and girls, vulnerable and orphaned — has equal rights and opportunities. No child is left behind.

We uphold honesty, fairness and dignity. Respect guides all our training, learning and community interactions.

We inspire commitment, hard work and a positive mindset — encouraging children to perform their best on and off the field.

We build strong, supportive networks with families, schools, partners, and the broader community.

Building a Permanent Office

A dedicated office building is essential for operational stability, secure storage of records, hosting partner meetings, and providing a safe space for administrative work. This transition from a home-based office will unlock new levels of professionalism and grant eligibility.

Need: We require funds to purchase a small plot of land adjacent to the school for the official OSA administrative headquarters.

UPCOMING PROJECT

Inclusion & Disability

Breaking Barriers for Every Child

We believe disability is not inability. Our upcoming "Ability in Disability" program aims to adapt our football and education activities to include children with special needs and physical challenges.

Why this matters: Children with disabilities in our community often face stigma and isolation. We plan to create a safe space for therapy, play, and social integration.
