On Friday 4th June, the Queen’s Official Birthday was celebrated throughout the world. To mark the occasion in Nairobi, an event was held at the British High Commissioner’s Residence and Vision Africa was proud to be part of the day. The chosen theme was the sporting links between UK and Kenya and how sport can play a role in development. Thanks to our matches between the British High Commission Cheetahs and Kibera Mpira Mtaani we were invited along to promote the work of Kibera Mpira Mtaani.

Saturday 20th March saw the launch of Kibera Mpira Mtaani’s John Packard Family Cup Tournament. The highlight of the event was a match between a combined Kibera Mpira Mtaani side and K-Krew – a local group of musical artists and DJs. Despite the rain and mud, the game went well and ended in a 2-2 draw so a rematch is being scheduled for a later date.
