Safaricom Chapa Dimba is a national grassroots football tournament aimed at giving young people (boys and girls) a platform to showcase, nurture and earn from their talent.
The tournament has been vital in developing and growing football talents within the country and beyond.
Besides competition and talent development, Safaricom Chapa Dimba is also very much focused on community engagement and financial well-being of the society. This is why we are here today to offer this Digital financial literacy training.
This training is geared towards providing tips that can inculcate a saving culture and enhance your credit and investment readiness.
This also aligns very much with our vision of being a purpose-led tech company by 2025, and at the same time, driving our engagement with the community beyond the pitch.
