KEFWA Unzipped Magazine 2021 Edition

The first edition of the KEFWA magazine is finally here. It offers informative pieces on our members. You also get to hear from our heads of departments and what they do. We have partnered with several organizations and institutions, with whom we have symbiotic synergies. Among them is Zetech University, where 15 of our members have enrolled to pursue various courses.

This is part of our members’ literacy program, steered by our belief in the fact that Education is a lifetime investment Under the Life after football segment, we will see the remarkable journey of Gaspo Ladies forward Winnie Kanyotu. Playing actively in the league and graduating with a Certificate in Tourism and Hospitality Management, shows that striking an equilibrium between football and education is achievable.

When the Covid-19 pandemic brought all sport to a screeching halt, we started a program dubbed “Mind The Gap.” This was aimed at empowering our members to embrace second careers. We share with you inspiring stories from this segment, with players getting creative and realizing their potential off the pitch. Tusker FC midfield sensation stars here, with his Agribusiness project. His story will inspire you. Match-fixing is continuing to wag its ugly tail in Kenyan football.

Our members are the worst hit, serving bans, to teams being expunged from the league. Our ambassador against match-fixing Festo Omukoto, tells us how he has been involved in the campaigns against the vice, as well as educating players on how to use the anonymous reporting tool known as the Red-button.

We all agree that your health is your wealth. As such, we will tell you about our Road to Recovery program. Its objective is to aid the recovery process of our members, ranging from those with injuries as well as other ailments that could be a hindrance to their performance and general wellbeing.

The KEFWA awards saw players vote for their fellow players who put up spectacular performances every month. This will culminate into an end-of-season gala awards and we all just cannot wait! We trust that you will enjoy it. We value your feedback for the next editions.

Regards
