More than ten years ago, I began a drive to gather football equipment and resources for Mathare North teams, particularly for the U10-U15 age group, to enable them to play in a more respectful manner and in a secure setting.
My mission is to guide the children and youth through an experience that inspires them to Do More, Be More, and Be Different.
In addition, I work to instill in them the moral principles that will enable them to aspire to be leaders and social change agents in our society.
We have reached more than 700+ young people and children since we started with the help of many people, especially my family, well wishers and friends.
Although I am aware that the shoes won't last forever, the youngsters will always remember the experience we gave them.
My goal is to provide every Mathare North football player between the ages of U10 and U15 with a pair of shoes.
These players typically come from impoverished communities where purchasing football shoes isn't high on their parents' or guardians' list of necessary purchases.
