The Destiny Touch rugby inclusive tournament, sponsored by Destiny Transformation Center concluded successfully with great community involvement.
The event was part of a broader Financial Inclusion Program aimed at empowering the Gerehu community and was facilitated by Mama Bank and Tisa Bank, who also assisted many in opening individual bank accounts.
This exercise highlighted the issue that many young and prominent rugby players generally don’t have bank accounts until reaching a certain point in their careers. The program emphasized the importance of players having accounts and engaging in SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) for self-support.
