Changing the playing field for refugees #jointheklabu
Over ons
Hello, we are KLABU 👋🏼 The sports club changing the playing field for refugees. We build clubhouses in refugee camps and cities which give refugees the tools to find joy, pride and hope in the practice of sports and feeling of community. KLABU clubhouses give access to sports equipment and activities, broadcast TV matches, music and Wi-Fi within a welcoming space. They’re led by the local refugee and host communities who we engage from inception to execution. We mentor them to run the clubhouses and to encourage everyone to participate in sports, with an extra focus on women and girls. You can find KLABU clubhouses in countries like Bangladesh and Kenya, and closer to our KLABU home in Amsterdam and Ter Apel. Our bigger vision is to build the biggest club in the world. We know, it’s pretty big, but so are our ambitions and the need for this club. Every day, we see how sport changes lives, on the ground, in refugee camps and through our programmes around the world. We also see how sport can rally support like nothing else. Our partners and supporters include UNHCR the United Nations Refugee Agency, football club Paris Saint-Germain, and architecture firm MVRDV that joined us to create the modular, multi-functional KLABU clubhouse which we are now replicating around the world. This support is much needed - there have never been more refugees in the world than today. The need for activities that go beyond survival is urgent. To carry out our mission we have a unique dual structure: a foundation and a social enterprise. The KLABU foundation works with local communities to set up and run the KLABU sports clubhouses. The social enterprise supports the foundation by creating and selling sportswear and by collaborating with brands that help us increase our reach and impact. The goal: to unlock access to sport for 2+ million refugees in 2050 by actively running 300+ KLABU sports clubhouses in refugee camps and cities globally. So join us, join the KLABU!

You might have seen footage from Jean-Marie who is one of the KLABU managers in Kalobeyei, Kenya 🇰🇪 where 75,000 refugees are now rebuilding their lives. Jean-Marie, originally from Congo, dreams of a career as a journalist, and through his Instagram (@johnguy3638), shares what’s happening around the clubhouse: the sports, the music, the community, the positivity and the reality of everyday life. Big appreciation for you, Jean-Marie & team! We would love to invest much more in local communication teams at the KLABU clubhouses around the world. We are going to work hard on that because as Lillian from Kalobeyei said: 'KLABU is a chance for our voices to be heard!' #jointheklabu to change the playing field for refugees.
