Next Generation Stars!

~ Play Safe With Divinity –  Football Shoes Drive.

Featured post from our team leader and founder, Wilson Masaka

Yesterday I connected Latifah playing for KASSAC and Lewis of Mathare North Rangers F.C who were part of the kids I promised to connect them with a pair of shoes during this Easter holiday after spotting their stellar performance in one of the matches played at Drive Inn Primary School, Mathare North.

I’m happy to put a smile on the next generation stars by honouring my promise. They now join a long list of beneficiaries of the football shoes campaign since inception in the year 2000. 

I know there are many who are still playing bare feet, but through Wilsen initiative (WI) and +throughMylens I will strive to reach many in Mathare North zone. 

The main agenda is to change the playing  experience at the grassroots level by providing mentorship and much needed resources like balls, uniforms and football shoes.
