We believe in the power of collaboration to build spaces for play, engage and unite communities, and grow the next generation of community leaders.
Build
Building fields for dreams to come true
We design and construct safe, accessible baseball and softball fields. From Nairobi’s first diamond to temporary fields, we build places where youth can thrive.
Play
Fostering community development through play.
Through Little League programs, local tournaments, series, and clinics, we create joyful, structured opportunities for young players to experience teamwork, discipline, and fun on and off the field.
Grow
Growing opportunities for the next generation.
We nurture the next generation of leaders and changemakers connecting young people to life skills, education, and opportunities, all with a focus on building stronger communities and futures.
Projects & Initiatives
IfWeBuildIt began with a simple yet impactful goal: build Nairobi's first baseball field and create an epicenter for growth of the game. We remain focused on creating access to play, while also operating leagues and community development activities that grow access to the game, build opportunity and level the playing field for young people.
