Over 200 teams in Homabay and Kisumu Counties benefited from the SportPesa Kits for Africa project last week.
The initiative saw the distribution of football gear to the needy teams.
The move by the global gaming and technology firm launched three years ago, has been a huge success with kits collected from SportPesa partner clubs in Europe being passed on to football-loving communities in Kenya and Tanzania.
The kits are mostly donations from SportPesa’s international partners, such as English league sides Everton, Southampton FC Hull City.
Men and ladies teams were elated as they received jerseys.
