One Dream - Support Kenya Lacrosse

PLEASE DONATE NOW to help KLA get the first U21 Men’s Team to the 2022 World Championships this summer in Limerick

Our Mission
To inspire a new generation of Kenyan athletes, through the power of lacrosse, to achieve a better future for themselves and their communities.

Who are we?
Our programme began over 10 years ago, with a mission to provide sporting opportunities to young girls through lacrosse. Since then, the programme has grown to include coaching for boys and to involve a number of schools in western Kenya and Nairobi. Beyond our schools-based programming, we have a rapidly growing national programme.

Kenya Lacrosse is not solely a sports organisation. Alongside our lacrosse programmes, we place a strong emphasis on education, health, and wellbeing.  We require that all of our younger players are enrolled in school and provide support to any players that may face obstacles in obtaining education or adequate healthcare. A large part of our fundraising and donor support goes to supporting our athletes who have more limited means.

Current Target
Our current target is to develop our national team programmes and make an impact on the world stage in 2022.
Kenya has been recognised as the 54th lacrosse nation by the Federation of International Lacrosse and has received awards for the development of the game on the African continent.

Kenya Lacrosse made history at the 2019 U19 Women’s World Championships in Canada as the FIRST EVER female African lacrosse team to compete at an international tournament. We are now working towards getting our first U21 Men’s Team to the 2022 World Championships next summer in Limerick, Ireland, as well as our first Senior Women’s Team to the 2022 World Championship in Maryland, USA. Our participation at these tournaments plays a vital role in lacrosse being eligible for Olympic status, as it marks the successful inclusion of all continents playing the game. Our target will then be to get Team Kenya to the Olympics in Los Angeles 2028.
