The Foundations’ work revolves around three pillars; Economic empowerment, humanitarian aid, and sports. The Foundation, therefore, through the economic pillar, aims to help grow individual and group enterprises by training the members on best entrepreneurial practices that are sustainable and to also encourage the creation of sustainable jobs. Getting to business for those yet to, and growing what already existing businesses, tackling how and the need to save, as well as budgeting and debt management are just part of the areas we wish to enlighten Nairobi City Stars players on,” Sifuna said.
