Maeko Partnerships – Maeko Unity Self Help Group

Maeko supports local communities and children by creating environments where young people can develop their abilities, contribute positively to the society, and pursue meaningful work. Sports and the arts builds confidence, teamwork, leadership, discipline and a sense of belonging.

Community Partnerships

Our partnerships include Xtreem Arena CBO and its dance school in Kariobangi, Nairobi; Thika Soccer Club; Maguguni Rising Stars FC; Maguguni Junior Stars/ MJS Academy; and community volleyball initiatives. Maeko’s support includes sporting and promotional materials, visibility, and opportunities for participation and talent development.

By supporting local grassroots organizations, Maeko helps nurture skills that remail valuable to the young people and their communities long after an eventor season has ended.

Creating an Enabling Environment for Youth

Alongside training and employment, Maeko supports community and human rights initiatives that advance equality, non-discrimination, inclusion and the right to pursue dignified livelihoods. This combination of economic opportunity and participation break barriers that limit young people’s potential.

Maeko supports young people not only as employees or athletes, but also as future leaders, entrepreneurs and active contributors to their communities.

Humanitarian Action | Narok

Maeko promotes humanitarian fundraising and partnerships to mobilize essential support for vulnerable and orphaned children. Its “Hopes on Wheels” charity initiative in Narok South brought together bikers and community partners around a shared message: riding with purpose and giving with love.

Human Rights Engagements | Dakar, Senegal

In October 2026, Maeko’s advocate, Grace Onjala, represented the organization at the public session of the African Commission on Human Rights and People’s Rights (ACHPR) in Dakar, Senegal.

The participation reflects MAEKO’S interest in social inclusion, human dignity, young people’s economic empowerment, and broader African dialogue on human and people’s rights.
