Oliech still planting smiles of the faces of many, years after his retirement

Former Harambee Stars captain Dennis Oliech through his foundation has planted a smile on the faces of many after supplying sanitary pads at Kanorero in Dagoretti Corner.

Oliech who grew up in the area touched the hearts of the less fortunate by availing the commodity that will go a long way in upholding their dignity and decency.

The initiative is aimed at keeping girls in school, informing them about their sexual health and empower them to be economically independent.

Speaking during the event, Oliech who is the founder of the organisation said that he intends to stretch the helping hand to other parts of the country as a way of giving back the society. The retired forward revealed plans of unearthing and nurturing football talents as well as becoming a environment conservation champion by spreading the gospel of forestation.

"One of our cornerstone work is ensuring girls have access to sanitary pads so they don't miss out on school or have to worry where they will get their next pack. Charity begins at home and that's why we are here today. We are planning of going around the country to support more youths in different fields. Through the organisation we want to nurture talents through football, we want to advocate for clean and conducive environment through planting trees," he said

The Menace further called for more support especially from the football family and other well wishers to help keep the initiative alive going forward.

" I believe if we all come together we will achieve this. The Dennis Oliech Foundation is not mine its for the football lovers who have supported me all through, those who have stood with me in good and bad times and i call upon everyone to join this initiative and assist in anyway they can. Thank you," he added..

The former Mathare United who has strongly hinted of delving into football management held the Oliech Cup last year that was fully sponsored by the leading sports betting firm Mozzart Bet.
