Hello and welcome to our
special Maasai Cricket Warriors
post tour edition!
Special thanks to all our sponsors,
partners, staff, volunteers and all
those who supported the Maasai
Cricket Warriors Tour in whatever
way. We held 28 different events
across the city and county. This
wouldn’t have been possible
without you! Our campaign for social justice was very
successful in engaging diverse communities and
reaching out to new audiences. From statistics gathered
through different monitoring methods, we reached
over 20,000 people from over 35 nationalities through
the various activities and using the Mojatu Magazines,
social media and mass media. We also had many people
coming forward to seek help or wanting to support work
related to FGM, Forced Marriage, modern slavery, hate
crime and education / skills development. The tour has
generated a great deal of interest from our partners who
took part and new partnerships are being developed
that will strengthen our advocacy work. Following
this success, we are very keen to follow up on the
legacy for the team and to be able to provide personal
development opportunities and also strengthen the
team’s impact in Kenya and beyond. It was reported by
many of the warriors that this was the best tour ever
considering the diversity of people they met, number
of events and social issues affecting communities,
equipment donations amongst other things. Plans for
future tours of the team and other African groups visiting
the UK are also underway and we will keep you updated
in due course through our Mojatu Magazine. The tour was
widely covered by Local and national media, see pg (31)
for a list of some of them. Once again, thank you to Asante
Sana for your invaluable support and we look forward to
working with you again in future.
Happy Reading
