In a remarkable show of support for grassroots sports, SPORTPESA, Kenya’s leading betting firm, has continued its Tujiamini initiative with a generous donation of Ksh 250,000 to Rockstar Football Club, a promising team based in Western Kenya.
The Tujiamini initiative, launched earlier this year, aims to empower community-level sports teams and nurture local talent across the country. Staying true to its mission, SPORTPESA identified Rockstar FC as one of the standout teams making an impact in their region despite limited resources.
The ceremony, held in Western Kenya, was met with excitement and gratitude from the Rockstar FC players, coaching staff, and local fans. The club, which has been steadily rising through regional tournaments, has faced challenges with training equipment, transport, and matchday expenses. The Ksh 250,000 grant is expected to ease these burdens and help the team strengthen its performance both on and off the pitch.
Speaking during the handover, SPORTPESA public relations officer Deborah Chepkirui praised Rockstar FC’s resilience and talent: “We believe in giving back to the community and investing in the future of Kenyan sports. Rockstar FC embodies the spirit of Tujiamini—believing in yourself and pushing forward regardless of the odds.”
Rockstar FC’s head coach expressed heartfelt appreciation, saying, “This support couldn’t have come at a better time. Our boys have worked so hard with very little, and now with this support, we can invest in proper gear, transport, and even nutrition. We are incredibly grateful to SPORTPESA.”
The Tujiamini initiative continues to touch lives across the country, spotlighting untapped potential in Kenyan sports and giving young athletes the platform they deserve. With this latest boost, Rockstar FC is set to make even greater strides in its football journey—proving that with belief, support, and hard work, anything is possible.
