It is pretty interesting under the Odi Mtaani initiative, and the company has to embark upon numerous projects to support sports development in Kenya, such as Odileague, amongst others. Despite the difficulties most of the sports betting companies in Africa experience. This has not deterred their support towards the corporate social responsibility project despite the suspension of real-life sporting events for most of 2020.
