The national rugby 15s captain Dan Sikuta is not only a beast on the rugby pitch but he also understands that people do not become poor when they help the less fortunate in society.
Sikuta, who has also previously featured for Shujaa, managed to put a smile on the face of a young player in Nakuru County on Saturday, January 15, 2023.
The Kabras RFC flanker touched the hearts of many Kenyan rugby fans when he purchased playing boots for a kid who hails from a poor background.

He posted a photo of him posing with the unidentified kid and wished him success.
"What a talent that this youngster has. Watched him play barefoot at NAC in Nakuru over the weekend. Wish him the very best,” stated Sikuta.
Fans were quick to thank him for the rare gesture.
James Situma, an ex-Harambee Stars and AFC Leopards defender, was among the individuals who took the time to appreciate Sikuta’s heart-warming gesture.
Situma commented with a two-word reply “Blessings Papa” while another user wrote, “Good work brother, you will be blessed,”.
In his Instagram post, Sikuta, whose brother Stephen Sakari also plays for the Simbas, urged other people, particularly sportspersons to endeavor to support local talents.
Sikuta is an alumnus of St. Joseph Kitale High School and the University of Nairobi where he pursued a bachelor of commerce course between 2012 and 2015.
Apart from Kabras, Sikuta has also previously played for Mwamba RFC.
