THE STEPHEN JUMA FOUNDATION

Advocacy Against Crime & Substance Abuse

The proposed advocacy program uses sport, mentorship and athlete stories to encourage positive choices and community connection.

Discover talent. Build discipline.

MMA training is the starting point for wider opportunity.

PLANNED PROGRAM

Planned: advocacy and media partnerships form part of the 2026–2029 strategy.

THE CONTEXT

Positive role models. Real possibility.

Limited opportunities and a lack of support can expose young people to harmful pressures. Young people deserve constructive alternatives and respectful support.

What are the program objectives?

  • Make positive pathways visible.
  • Build community and local media partnerships.
  • Encourage discipline, purpose and belonging.
