Empowering Youth through Opportunity
Building a safe haven for talent, education, and community in Vet-Ngong, Kenya.
Talent is universal,
opportunity is not.
Nestled between the organized chaos of Nairobi and the edge of the Great Rift Valley lies the working-class town of Vet-Ngong. It's a community rich in spirit but plagued by poor infrastructure and a lack of safe spaces for its youth.
Despite these challenges, the passion for football here is palpable. Children play for hours on rocky, uneven ground, risking injury for the love of the game. Their talent is raw, their energy boundless, but their opportunities are scarce.
"We are losing a generation of potential to crime and drugs simply because they have nowhere else to go. Vallymore Arena is our answer to this crisis." - James M., Vet-Ngong Resident
Vallymore Arena is more than just a pitch; it's a catalyst for transformation. By providing a safe platform for thousands of youth to play, learn and develop new skills we are building a stronger, more resilient society. The facility is designed for self-sufficiency while immediately creating local jobs and economic opportunity, serving as a central hub where families can connect and thrive.

Driven by Purpose
David Otieno and Chris Pinderhughes share a unified vision: to bridge the gap between talent and opportunity.
"I am a businessman by trade, but football has been my passion since I was seven. For years, I've had to drive across the city just to find a proper ground to play the game I love, simply because our neighborhood lacks the infrastructure. That reality birthed this dream: to build a quality turf right here in Vet-Ngong, giving both the young and the old a place to play, connect, and let their talent shine without having to leave their community." — David
"Soccer has always been a universal language to me. From Bangladesh to Nepal, and now Kenya, I've found community through the game even when I couldn't speak the local language. Since playing here in Nairobi, I've connected deeply with a community just outside the city where opportunity is scarce—a place without a decent pitch where kids can safely play and learn this language that traverses region and culture." — Chris
We are working to build a football pitch, community garden, and cafe to serve the Vet-Ngong community. We have secured a lease-to-own agreement on a two-acre plot and have meticulously planned every phase to ensure transparency, sustainability, and maximum impact.
