EMPOWERING Children AND Youth THROUGH THE POWER OF Football AND Mentorship.
We Are Fobeworld: For a Better World. We use the power of football and mentorship to help young people, especially girls, thrive through education, wellness, and resilience.
We are from Goma. This is our story, and the reason Fobeworld exists.
A City Full of Promise
Goma was home to around 40,000 people, a calm, beautiful city on the edge of Lake Kivu, surrounded by volcanoes and rich land. This is the city we come from.
Our Programs
Since 2016, we have been using Football as a tool for education, health awareness, and resilience. Discover what we do on the ground.
Beyond Football and Mentorship
Empowerment
We believe that when one person rises, the whole community can rise with them. At Fobeworld, empowerment means creating opportunities not just for children and youth, but for their families too. We work hand in hand with parents, guardians, and local leaders to build safe, supportive environments where young people can thrive, stay in school, train, and follow their dreams.

Our Impact By the Numbers
Rooted in football and mentorship, our approach is holistic, proven and designed to help youth rise when life and health challenges arise.
“Kick Out Abuse showed me I can stand strong and speak out. I now feel safe and brave to protect myself and others.”
Fobeworld partners with a network of organizations, companies, football clubs, filmmakers, storytellers, artists, and individuals who believe in the power of sport and mentorship to make a lasting impact in the lives of young people.
At Fobeworld we are united by a shared belief in the power of play and expression. We work hand-in-hand with schools, youth hubs, local organizations, and communities—including those in remote areas, refugee camps, IDP settlements, and even high-risk zones—to create lasting impact where it’s needed most.
