Organisation History
Our journey of impact, growth, and transformation since inception
Soka Toto Muda Initiative Trust was born out of a deep passion to address the challenges faced by children and teen mothers in informal settlements. What started as a small community initiative has grown into a comprehensive organization impacting thousands of lives through faith-based empowerment programs.
Our Growth Journey
Key moments that shaped our organization's development and impact
2025
STMI Growth
Guided by the values of Faith, Integrity, Holistic Development, and Empowerment, STMI Trust implemented seven core programs: Soka (Soccer, Table Tennis & Basketball), Muda (Music & Dance), Chess, Discipleship & Outreach, Feeding, Teen/Young Mothers Support, and Digital Literacy. These programs ensure no child is left behind while promoting talent development, dignity-driven services, and self-reliance among beneficiaries.
2024
STMI Re-establishment
After the collapse of Soccer Toto Academy, Brian Nathan (Founder) felt called to continue serving the community. He reflected, planned, and sought people who shared his vision, passion, and servant leadership. Over time, he was joined by Momanyi Dennis (Administration), Paul Ngao (Community Integration), Seline Adhiambo (Children Safeguarding & Young Mothers Program), Fabrice (Programs Coordinator), and Emmanuel Kiptoo (ICT & Automation). This team allowed a transition from a football academy to a holistic child-focused Community-Based Organization. On August 30, 2024, the organization was officially registered by the Ministry of Labor & Social Protection as Soka Toto Muda Initiative Trust (STMI Trust) in Kabiria, Dagoretti South, Nairobi.
2020
Soka Toto Muda Initiative Trust Establishment
Soka Toto Muda Initiative Trust was founded in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic when schools were closed and children remained at home. This exposed children to risks such as lack of guidance, mental inactivity, depression, and negative influences. In Nairobi’s informal settlements, crime, drug abuse, hunger, early pregnancies, and indiscipline increased due to job losses. In response, coaches led by Brian Nathan engaged children through mentorship, discipleship, Bible studies, football activities, and snacks to encourage participation. The initiative began as Soccer Toto Academy, focusing on football, and started with 50 children aged 6–18 in Waithaka, later growing to 70. When schools reopened, attendance dropped as children returned to school, families relocated, coaches resumed work, and financial challenges arose. These factors led to the academy’s closure in January 2021.
