In an inspiring crossover of tech and community sports, Mkulima AI, a startup using satellite imagery to advise smallholder farmers, won the top prize at the Nairobi Tech Pitchfest. In a surprising move, the founders announced they will use part of the KSh 5 million prize money to sponsor their local Division Two football club, Kibra United. The team represents our community. This investment is about holistic growth—feeding minds with tech and bodies with sport, stated co-founder Aisha Mohammed. The funds will upgrade the team’s training gear and a dilapidated pitch, highlighting how tech wealth is beginning to trickle down to grassroots sports development.
