Bizgov Champions Gender Equality Through Sports and Mentorship in Kilifi

KILIFI COUNTY

Kenya — November 15, 2025
Bizgov Group of Companies, in partnership with Tuungane Community CBO, hosted a gender-equality mentorship and sports program at the Msumarini Community Grounds in Kikambala, engaging children and teenagers from across Kilifi County.

The event featured focused educational sessions on child rights, menstrual hygiene, Gender-Based Violence, and the social challenges affecting adolescents, including teenage pregnancy and early marriage. The program aimed to equip young people with practical knowledge and encourage open dialogue around topics often left unaddressed in rural communities.

Jacqueline Okoba, Chief of Staff at Bizgov Group of Companies, delivered the educational speeches and coordinated the program.
“It’s amazing to see the kids arriving on time, listening carefully, and understanding the importance of these lessons,” Okoba said. “This is the part of my Bizgov life I love the most.”

Following the mentorship sessions, the day concluded with a mixed-gender football match, officiated by Okoba, which ended in a spirited penalty shootout. Team Pishori emerged as the winner.

To support the participants and enhance future activities, Bizgov donated jerseys, football boots, dignity kits, branded T-shirts, footballs, trophies, and whistles. Many of the young players received proper sports equipment for the first time, providing encouragement ahead of upcoming local tournaments.

“Our mission is to reach every child, especially those too often overlooked,” said Doris Tuei, Director of Bizgov Aid. “Partnerships like this allow us to deliver practical support and inspire lasting change in communities.”

Tuungane CBO co-founder Janet Motah expressed appreciation for Bizgov’s involvement, emphasizing how the new equipment and mentorship sessions have boosted confidence and participation among local youth.

Bizgov Group reaffirmed its commitment to expanding Bizgov Aid programs across Kenya, focusing on direct community support, youth empowerment, and inclusive development. The organization thanked Tuungane CBO for its collaboration and stated that this initiative is part of a broader effort to deliver assistance to communities that need it most.
