"CHEZA" means "play" in Swahili which is widely used in East Africa.
We, CHEZA work for the future of youth in Africa and Japan through the provision of education and sports opportunities. Solving social challenges such as improvement of educational environment, and working environment in local communities are our targets.
We wish the great talents of young athletes who are unable to break through due to poverty or living conditions will bloom fully. Be a bridge between Africa and Japan through the power of “SPORTS” and “EDUCATION”.
