The Everton squad will be in the country to take on Sportpesa Cup winners Kariobangi Sharks on Sunday as they prepare for their English Premier League action that is set to kick off in August.
Osman has been part of the campaign for a while now since he helped Sportpesa launch it over two years ago.
"I came here in 2017 to this same pitch in Kariobangi to meet the local people and launch the campaign.
"To come back and see how things have developed and seen how big the campaign has become is brilliant. A huge crowd gathered for the donation today and you could see what it meant to people. Hopefully, their teams will really benefit from what they have received.
"It's a fantastic scheme for SportPesa and Everton to be involved in." He said during the Event.
