The foundation's founder and CEO Siyad Abdalla Hassan said the main course is to support and nurture talent and also promote peace and cohesion through soccer.

While emphasizing that the foundation's primary goal is to combat radicalisation and engage the youth in sports, Hassan said their main aim is to keep the youth busy and focused on positive activities like sports.

The foundation has a notable history of supporting school games, consistently contributing to the development of youth sports in the region.

This isn't the first time the foundation has stepped in to support such events; they previously backed the Wajir East games, demonstrating their ongoing commitment to fostering athletic talent and providing positive outlets for young people.

In addition to the Wajir East games, the Siyad Foundation has also sponsored several tournaments across Wajir, Garissa, and Mandera counties.

Their sustained efforts in these areas have significantly impacted the local communities, offering numerous opportunities for young athletes to showcase their skills and engage in constructive activities.
