Accomplished rapper and philanthropist King Kaka in conjunction with Kaka Empire, held the second edition of the under 17 Ligi soo football tournament this past Friday, January 20 at Nairobi City stadium.
Through the Kaka Empire mentorship program, eight teams battled in various categories during the full-day event.
The proceeds from the tournament are used to empower underprivileged youth in nurturing their skills in order to build businesses that can sustain them.
Some of the prominent friends, partners, and supporters of the cause who showed up included Hon. Ezekiel Mutua, Janet Mbugua, Adelle Onyango, Femi One, Jadi, Nana Owiti, Carol Radull, Kanambo Dede, Ndovu Kuu, Kenzo Matata, Kristoff, Scarlet football club, Olamide (SportsbetIo) among others.
“We are here to help young people achieve their dreams, by making this football tournament happen; the main aim is to mentor them on how they earn a living through running a small business.
It is upon us to raise a purpose-driven generation,” said King Kaka
The music star launched the successful initiative back in November 2020 with a drive of establishing mental strength as a foundation for youths from Eastlands.
