Vienna Hub Clubs in Kakuma

 

draft response to enquiries@leicesterbluesox.co.uk about UK support for Vienna Hub Clubs in Kakuma

------

Thank you very much

I would be interested in your views on the idea of introducing baseball5 and rounders 

in volume in Kakuma Camp Kenya, based on the offering made in 2019 in Jordan here 

https://www.wbsc.org/en/news/wbsc-boosts-gender-equality-in-jordans-zaatari-camp-with-baseball5-for-refugees

Denis who runs a baseball5 club of some 65 young people in Kenya has visited the camp and met with some NGO 

leaders who are keen to develop this. Two critical success factors would appear to be organisation and funding. 

The local Kenyan WBSC are aware of activity, as is the Camp leader, some UN people, and the Project Leader in 

WBSC globally for baseball5

As a Brit, my gut feel is some support from UK Baseball and UK Rounders could be helpful, as well as perhaps from the

Commonwealth Sports Organisations. One goal that started this was to get a youth team from Kenya to the Dakar 

Olympics in 2026

One approach I have in mind is to extend the wifi hotspot pilot at PDRI to 100 spots, and run a "micro library, micro school,

micro co-working space and Baseball5 / Rounders club" from each. These would be units of 144 people, 12 x 12, thus 

reaching 14,400. The scale up would be to 1000 spots, with 144,000 of the 200,000 residents.

One route to that is to calculate the investment required, create an outline graphic like yours below with space for investor

logos, and then sell this to investors and partners on a location by location basis for the first 10, 100, 1000 locations.

Note Similar proposals for development are running in Freetown, Sierra Leone and Nakivale Camp, Uganda
