At the end of Seed of Hope sports day in July 2008, a football match took place that was the start of something new and exciting for the Nairobi centre.

If you’re looking for inspiration for your fundraising or encouragement to part with a few coins, read on for stories of 2 little girls who are leading the way in generosity.
The first story that was brought to our attention was that of 10 year old Sally from a small fishing village in Scotland. Vision Africa is already supported by many people from this village including the local drama and sewing groups, the women’s guild and the primary school. Sally decided it was her turn to get involved and saved up £50 of her pocket money and birthday money and duly sent it to Vision Africa.

“BHC Cheetahs fly in player from Dubai for Mpira Mtaani match”. If this were a tabloid newspaper, that would probably be the headline. In fact, it isn’t that far from the truth.
On Saturday the 28th March the John Packard Family Cup 2009 was launched. The first game of the tournament was an under 14s match between FC Marren and the Diadems in which FC Marren were the victors with a 2-0 scoreline. The second match of the day was the British High Commission Cheetahs vs a Kibera Mpira Mtaani under 17s side. This fixture was much anticipated after the previous results of a scoreless draw and a 4-0 defeat by Mpira Mtaani. The Cheetahs claimed to be better prepared for this game and ready for a tough match.
