Partner with us

Where a partner changes what is possible

Local venues and friends of the club run our tournaments on a shoestring. A partner lets us run more of them, reach more young people and build a permanent youth space in the village.
1

Sponsor a tournament

Put up the prize pool for a 16-player tournament (our latest was KES 34,000) and help with venue, screen and logistics. Your brand goes on the poster, the bracket and the TV screen all night.

2

Equip the youth space

Help us build a safe, alcohol-free youth space in the village, with pool tables, cues, table tennis, board games and a room to study and meet. Funding, materials and equipment are all welcome.

Why back us

Small budgets, a full room, every time

  • Four tournaments in four months, each with 16 players and a packed crowd.
  • Public brackets and results. You can check every match on this site.
  • Run by Digital Moran CBO, which has trained over 5,000 rural youth and runs Moran Farms.
  • We are local. We live where the young people we serve live.

Every tournament so far has been paid for from entry fees, the venues and a few friends of the club. A KES 1,000 entry fee is a lot of money in the village, so the prize pool is the difference between a game and an event worth turning up for.

The handshake before a match matters as much as the result. Rivals become friends, older players mentor younger ones, and the room learns to see these young people as athletes instead of idlers. That respect is what we are building, and it is what a youth space will make permanent.

We report back to our partners. You get the bracket, the photos and the results from every event you support, and you are welcome to come and present the prizes yourself.
