With a heritage of success and a passionate fanbase, Nakuru RFC represents not only sporting prestige but also regional resilience, qualities that align with Smart’s mission to expand access to innovation and healthcare solutions beyond urban centres.
The Smart–Nakuru RFC partnership reflects the company’s broader agenda: using technology, sport, and community as tools for impact. With operations across all 47 counties in Kenya and a presence in 12 African countries, Smart is firmly committed to supporting local talent and wellness initiatives.
Smart Board Chair Andrew Musangi summed it up: “Rugby isn’t just a sport; it’s a discipline that shapes character. Supporting Nakuru RFC means investing in the future of our youth, our communities, and our collective aspirations echoes the sentiment, noting that supporting Nakuru RFC is an investment in the future of local communities across the country.
