Leon Yemoh is the Director of Street To School (S2S). Born in Ghana and currently residing in the UK, Leon has a long-standing passion for contributing to the development of his home continent. 

His commitment to social impact is deeply rooted in his upbringing in La, Accra, where Street To School operates.

Since joining Street To School in 2017, Leon has worked tirelessly to expand the organization’s reach, which initially began by using football as a platform to engage ‘street’ children, providing them with access to free sports, education, and mentorship. Under his leadership, S2S aims to broaden its impact within Ghana and internationally.

My name is Naz Azram, and I am a proud father of three with over 22 years of experience in sales, specializing in the logistics and supply chain industry. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with multinational companies, honing my expertise in this dynamic field. 

Outside of my professional life, my true passion is community engagement through sport. I founded Unity 101 FC, an award-winning football club dedicated to giving young people from disadvantaged backgrounds the opportunity to experience the game. For more than 13 years, I’ve volunteered my time, uniting players from diverse faiths, ethnicities, and cultures, while leading the team to multiple promotions and championships. The club’s efforts have earned several accolades, including the prestigious BBC Unsung Hero Runners-up Award and the Hampshire FA Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Heroes Award. 

Football is a cornerstone of my life, both as a coach and a father. With my children now actively playing, I proudly serve as head coach for two youth teams and assistant coach for two more. My deep involvement in the game stems from a belief in football’s unique power to bring people together and foster personal growth and development. 

It has been incredibly rewarding to witness the talents of players like brothers Beng’yela and Dinkaah, and Saqib’s unwavering defensive contributions at Unity 101 FC. As I now turn my attention to the Street to School project, I am excited to continue making a positive impact on young lives through the beautiful game.

Saqib Aslam is a results-driven Program Manager and COO with a wealth of experience in delivering large-scale strategic solutions. With fourteen years of experience at a tier-one investment bank, Saqib also holds a First Class Honours BSc degree in International Business. 

Beyond his professional career, Saqib devotes most of his time to his family of five and his passion for football. As an FA Level 1 coach, he volunteers his time coaching and managing a local grassroots youth football team. 

Saqib was introduced to Street to School by brothers Dinkaah and Beng’Yela Ngwa, who both played for Unity 101 FC, a community-based team that Saqib assisted with managing alongside fellow Street to School Director Nazakat Azram, the team’s founder. The mission of Street to School resonated deeply with Saqib, aligning with his commitment to supporting causes close to his heart. 

He is excited to embark on this journey with the team, eager to contribute his time, skills, and energy to build upon the impactful work Street to School has already accomplished.
