Kibera Celtic FC
Welcome to Version 1.0 of the new Kibera Celtic FC website. The site is still under construction, with new information arriving all the time from John and Bernard in Nairobi, but it is a slow process sometimes, with the guys having so many other pressing priorities and the internet options being pretty poor in Kibera. We are working hard to develop a comprehensive and 100% accurate website for our followers, but we have a wee while to go until we're there.
The UK Trustees are in the process of registering a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO), so we will keep you posted about how this is progressing.
For any additional information, please email info@kiberacelticfc.com. This mailbox is accessed several times every day.
HAIL HAIL!!
