Our collaborations
Supporters & partners
Together we are working to build a promising future for children and youngsters in Kenya. We are proud of and grateful for the collaboration with our partners and supporters from Kenya and the Netherlands. It is they who make the mission of Kenya Youth Hockey Development possible: to bring children happiness through hockey.
