It was a pleasure sitting down with Kilimani Community Foundation Board Chairperson Irene Agutu to discuss the proposed Kili League partnership and what it could mean for community sport. We look forward to building on the ideas shared as the collaboration takes shape. @kilimanispeaks

Earlier this week, our team participated in the Stakeholders’ Breakfast Meeting held ahead of KASTIE 2026, bringing together county leadership, development partners, businesses and other stakeholders to explore Kitui’s investment and development priorities. It was an opportunity to introduce The PlayAble Network, learn more about the county’s vision, and begin conversations around the role sport can play in creating opportunities for young people. We appreciate the engagements and look forward to building on the connections made.

Day 6 | Lodwar, Turkana County The final day of the programme brought players, coaches, parents, and community members together as the week came to a close. Alongside discussions led by the Hill Side FC coaches and The PlayAble Network team, the boys spoke openly about their experiences, their ambitions, and the role they can play in supporting one another both as teammates and as friends. Parents who joined the sessions also shared words of encouragement, adding to the sense of community that had grown throughout the programme. As the pilot concluded, the week ended with a sense of encouragement and shared purpose, carrying forward the connections, lessons, and conversations that began on the field and continued beyond it.
