This continues Midea’s commitment to empowering young people through sport and education.
In Nairobi, the project focuses on creating supportive environments where young people can feel safe, included, and inspired.
Using football as a platform, the programme brings young people together to build confidence, form friendships and develop skills that extend far beyond the pitch.
The initiative aims not only to provide opportunities for play, but also to foster a sense of belonging and responsibility among participants.
Supported by Tackle Africa, an organisation dedicated to empowering female Young Leaders in local communities through the power of football to tackle key social challenges.
Through guidance from coaches at City in the Community, Young Leaders in Nairobi are taking part in interactive workshops and training sessions designed to nurture leadership, communication, and teamwork.
These sessions encourage participants to reflect on their role within their communities and to recognise how they can contribute to creating positive, lasting change for those around them.
Alongside the training, Midea has supported the initiative by donating essential appliances to local community spaces.
These contributions help ensure that facilities used by young people are comfortable, functional, and welcoming, strengthening them as hubs where learning, connection, and development can flourish.
By investing in these environments, the programme supports not just individuals, but the wider community that surrounds them.
Together, Manchester City and Midea’s work in Nairobi demonstrates how sport, mentorship, and community investment can combine to open doors for young people, helping them to build safer spaces, stronger connections, and brighter futures.
