Willstone Homes celebrates Kenya’s queens of resilience, unity, and triumph.
A Nation Reawakened
After nine long years of waiting, hope has returned to Kenyan football — radiant, fearless, and feminine.
The Harambee Starlets have qualified for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) with a breathtaking 4–1 aggregate victory over The Gambia, marking their grand return to Africa’s biggest stage.
At Willstone Homes, we believe in building dreams that endure. Today, we stand tall to celebrate these exceptional women who rebuilt a nation’s spirit — and the visionary coach who led them with unmatched grace and genius, Beldine Odemba.
A Story of Resilience, Redemption, and Remarkable Leadership
When the Starlets fell behind early in the first leg at Nyayo National Stadium, panic could have crept in.
But under the calm, commanding presence of Coach Odemba, composure triumphed.
The team rallied — goals from Mwanalima Adam, Fasila Adhiambo, and Shaylene Opisa sealing a stunning 3–1 comeback in front of a roaring Nairobi crowd.
Four days later in Banjul, the Starlets finished the masterpiece — a 1–0 away win courtesy of the tireless Mwanalima Adam.
It wasn’t just a victory; it was a reclamation of pride, belief, and belonging.
“This qualification is for every little girl who dares to dream, every woman who refuses to be silenced, and every Kenyan who believes in possibility.”
— Coach Beldine Odemba
Beldine Odemba: The Architect of a New Era
In the ever-evolving story of Kenyan football, Beldine Odemba stands as a trailblazer.
The first Kenyan woman to lead the national team to WAFCON qualification, she has built her legacy not through loud declarations, but through quiet excellence and unshakable belief.
Her secret? A visionary blend of experience and youth — veterans like Mwanalima Adam anchoring the team, while emerging stars from the Junior and Rising Starlets programs added speed, creativity, and fire.
Odemba’s leadership is not just tactical; it’s transformational.
She has turned a group of players into a sisterhood, a team into a movement, and a dream into destiny.
Willstone Homes: Builders of Dreams, Believers in Excellence
At Willstone Homes, we see our reflection in the Harambee Starlets’ journey.
We too began with a vision — to transform the Kenyan real estate landscape through integrity, innovation, and excellence.
From modest foundations, we built a brand that now defines modern luxury living — where design meets durability, and every home tells a story of aspiration.
Our success, like the Starlets’, was not instant. It was earned — through hard work, unity, and belief that greatness is built, not born.
Just as the Starlets have constructed a new era for Kenyan football, Willstone Homes continues to construct homes that shape Kenya’s future — one foundation, one family, one dream at a time.
Giving the Queens Their Flowers
The Football Kenya Federation’s announcement of Ksh 1 million rewards for each player is a worthy tribute — but the true reward lies in the hearts they’ve inspired.
The Starlets have given Kenya its pride back.
They’ve shown that women’s football is not a side story — it is the story.
And at the heart of it all is Coach Beldine Odemba, whose brilliance has become a national beacon.
Today, Willstone Homes proudly gives her and the entire team their flowers — symbols of admiration for women who dared to dream and delivered a legacy.
Beldine Odemba, you are the blueprint of leadership.
You built more than a winning team — you built belief
Onward to Morocco 2026 — A New Chapter Begins
The Harambee Starlets are ready to write history again — this time on Africa’s grandest stage, WAFCON 2026 in Morocco.
They will stand among sixteen of the continent’s best, but they will carry something more powerful than talent: the unbreakable spirit of Kenya.
At Willstone Homes, we are proud to stand with them — champions who remind us that every great structure, whether of concrete or courage, begins with a dream and a foundation of faith.
Congratulations, Harambee Starlets. Bravo, Coach Odemba.
You have built a story that will live forever.
And from all of us at Willstone Homes — we see you, we celebrate you, we stand with you.
