According to James Ayieko, who serves as its organizing secretary, they have made clean water accessible to communities and provide support to kids.

Makueni and we are still planning to do more boreholes in partnership with a
certain company. We are more than just a fan group,” he commented.

visiting churches to pray for Arsenal ahead of their fixtures, also pay visits

next ten years. No team will beat us,” stated Ayieko.

explained the motivation behind the establishment of the fan base.

fanatics who wanted to support their team in a special way.
Now to bring in the special factor, we came up with the hype, branding, and strategic marketing factors. And with those strategies, we have managed to reach across the market,” ended Bwire.
