The Zelmerlöw & Björkman Foundation was stablished in 2013 by Swedish artist Måns Zelmerlöw and tennis legend Jonas Björkman. The foundation works primarily in Kenya and Sweden to support children and youth living in vulnerable situations.
Our mission is to break the cycle of poverty and vulnerability by providing education and fostering personal growth. We strive to create lasting, meaningful change in the lives of those who need it most.
Our Focus Areas
We focuses on empowering vulnerable children and youth by offering opportunities for education and personal development. Our work spans several key areas:
- Education: We provide scholarships and support for secondary and vocational schooling to help students build a brighter future through learning.
- Residential Support: Internats (boarding facilities) are offered to ensure students have a safe and supportive environment while pursuing their studies.
- Girl Empowerment: By addressing gender-specific challenges, we work to enhance opportunities for girls, fostering their growth and independence.
- Healthcare: We ensure access to basic health services, including dental and general healthcare, to improve the well-being of the communities they serve.
Why We Do This
Education is a powerful tool for change. By enabling access to education and fostering personal growth, we give young people the chance to escape poverty, take control of their future, and become positive influences in their communities. Join us in making a difference. Together, we can build a brighter future for the next generation.
