Play Safe With Dignity @ Wilsen Initiative
#NextGenerationStars#SelfMade #OlaySafeWithDignity #FootballForHope
📌 The good news is that on 20th December 2024, I was able to connect four next-generation stars with quality football shoes and two pairs of goalkeepers gloves. So far I have reached more than 700+ kids since I started the campaign in the year 2000.
The Genesis of The Football Shoes Campaign
In the 90s, I remembered most of us played barefoot with MYSA-branded vests, which were shared amongst all the participating teams in the community league. I played barefoot until around 14 years when the transition happened after receiving a pair of donated football shoes from the late Helge from Norway after scoring the only goal against a more talented side, the Mathare United Youth team, in a tournament that was organised in his honour known as the Helge's Cup played in 1996 at St. Benedict parish grounds along Thika road.
I started the football shoes and resources mobilisation campaign for teams in Mathare North, especially for the age groups U10-U15, to help them play in a more dignified way and in a safe environment.
My goal is to also restore the children's and youth's hope of becoming the next stars in the future by going through an experience that will encourage them to do more, be more, and be different. I also strive to train them on values that would help them aspire to become role models and change makers in our society.
I started the mission in the year 2000 under the umbrella of the Wilsen initiative (Wi) Play Safe and with dignity.
