Winnie was breastfeeding her baby in the middle of a football match pitting her club against Karangatha women FC, at Njabini stadium.
She didn’t seem to care much about the onlookers and she did not wait for a private moment at a secluded corner to attend to her baby.
The photo that trended on social media platforms shows the young Winnie cuddling her baby while standing as her teammates relax on the pitch, waiting for the second half to kick off.
“It’s not every day we get to see young mothers playing football in Kenya, and at the same time reminding us that no matter how busy we might get, we should never forget to pause and care for those who deserve our care,” said Mr. Karema during the visit.
