Omschrijving bedrijf
“KLABU is a chance for our voices to be heard” are the words of Lillian, 25, who fled from Ethiopia and who is a member of the first KLABU sports club in Kalobeyei, Kenya. Lillian’s dream is to break down the stereotypes that exist around refugees and elevate her voice beyond the dusty plains of Kalobeyei. Are you the one who will help Lillian to make this happen?
At KLABU we build sports clubs in refugee camps and we also create sportswear to raise funds and build bridges across borders. We are a unique combination of a brand and an NGO. And we are on a big adventure.
Everyday so much happens in the KLABU world, we are made of stories – stories from the people in the camps, stories from our partners who join us on our mission to make life a bit better for refugees, stories from our team members who themselves have a refugee background. We want to tell these stories to the world and invite everyone to join the KLABU.
