On 5th July 2025, something far greater than a corporate event unfolded at the lush grounds of The Lord Erroll in Runda, Nairobi. It was a day when hope, generosity, and the spirit of community took center stage.
The host? None other than Bangbet, Kenya’s leading betting company. But this time, it wasn’t about odds, jackpots, or sporting predictions. Instead, Bangbet was placing its biggest bet yet: investing in the people who make up the heart of Kenya.
Beyond the Game: A Bold New Mission
Under the banner “Bangbet na Jamii,” the company launched a powerful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program built on a simple but transformative principle: betting on people.
Bangbet’s CEO opened the day with a heartfelt speech that instantly set the tone. Passion and sincerity radiated as he spoke of Bangbet’s vision not just as a gaming platform, but as a partner in building stronger communities.
“At Bangbet, we believe our real success is measured not just in numbers but in the lives we touch,” he declared to resounding applause.
This vision received strong endorsement from a representative of the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB), who delivered a powerful keynote address. They praised Bangbet for going beyond business and taking up a genuine social cause, echoing the theme of the day—“Voices of Change.”
Healthcare That Heals More Than the Body
One of the most moving moments of the day was the launch of the Hospital Support Fund. In a symbolic and emotional gesture, Bangbet donated Ksh 1 million to St. Mary’s Hospital, dedicated to helping mothers who face financial hardship during their maternity journey.
The donation was presented to Sister Wafula, who represented St. Mary’s Hospital. As the cheque was handed over, emotions ran high. There was more than just ceremony in the air—there was genuine relief and gratitude.
“This is more than a cheque; it’s hope for countless mothers who walk into our hospital doors worried about how they’ll afford to bring life safely into this world,” Sister Wafula shared, visibly moved.
Through this fund, Bangbet made it clear that healthcare is not a privilege but a necessity, and no mother should face life-and-death choices due to a lack of funds. This initiative marked a crucial step in supporting maternal health in Kenya—a gesture that resonated deeply with many attendees.
From Hustle to Hope: Changing Lives in Real Time
While the day was filled with heartfelt speeches and noble gestures, it was also a time for celebration and surprise. Bangbet’s “Changing Lives” presentations were the heartbeat of the event, leaving winners—and the entire audience—on a high.

The excitement soared even higher during the Special Gift Dice Competition. Here, luck and destiny combined as participants rolled the dice for extraordinary prizes:
