favela street foundation

The Favela Street Foundation is committed to fostering the personal development, social participation, and future prospects of young people. Using sport as a powerful tool, we empower youth to become positive role models within their communities. We believe that young people have the power to change not only their own lives, but also the world around them.

The foundation supports initiatives that align with this mission, with a special focus on empowerment and social transformation through sport.


We achieve this by:

  • Financially supporting projects and programs that contribute to our mission;

  • Providing access to a network of experts, partners, and organizations to strengthen these initiatives;

  • Safeguarding the quality and impact of supported projects;

  • Advising Favela Street on strategy and programmatic direction.

Board of Directors

The board consists of three committed professionals with backgrounds in sports, youth development, and strategy:

  • Liza van der Most
    Former professional footballer at FC Utrecht and consultant at LTP

  • Joris Schuurman

    Partner and Director at youth engagement agency Youngworks

  • Liselotte Bierhoff
    EMEA Sports Marketing Senior Director Women’s at Nike

The Favela Street Foundation is registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under number 62319175 and holds ANBI (Public Benefit Organization) status.
