Stand Against Gambling Addiction (SAGA) Initiative

A student-run organization based in Nairobi, Kenya. It is our calling to help gambling addicts on their path to recovery.

Also in conjunction with UoN School of Law, we have done a critique of the Gaming Bill and how it's unsuitable for regulating the industry and its negative socioeconomic effects.

I know people who have lost millions in sports betting but still chase the illusion of a big win. Meanwhile, they get deeper into debt...I once sold everything in my house, fridge, TV, music system, cooker...and moved from a 13k house to a 3k single room. Usicheze na betting.

Online betting often brings out the worst in us, whether in public or not.

90 weeks gamble free 💪🏻

[GamblingIsAMugsGame @GamblingMugs]

Today will officially mark a week of being bet free, not a single spin of a slot or a bet placed. 👏

[Gambling with Lives @GambleWithLives]

A reminder: the gambling industry is not a normal industry selling normal products.

Addiction is at the very core of their business model.

Wueh!!!

[Rob @13BillyBoy]

So I've reached 40 days without a bet... gone from anywhere between 20 to 100 bets a day to NONE. If I can do you can do it too... feeling better as I tick the days off #onedayatatime

[Rob @13BillyBoy]

Day 26 of no gambling, also last day of isolation today. Feel in a happy place for a long time in a while 👍

Two footballing legends @Peter_Shilton and @PaulMerse taking the very brave step of speaking out about their gambling disorder. It is so important that the wider community are aware of the dangers of gambling harms so that none of our journeys have been in vain.

[My name is Ben and I am a compulsive gambler @ExGambler4Life]

3 years ago I was at rock bottom, 2 years ago I was sent to prison. Just over 8 months ago I was released from prison. Just under 5 months ago I started a new job. Today I got promoted. Tomorrow I play my first rugby game in 3 years. Change is possible.

[Adrian howard @Adrianhoward21]

Nearly 2 years ago I made plans to take my own life i thought that was the best option. Don’t be to proud to talk to people around you there is help available. Lucky for me I have a good network of people. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay

[Alice @Alice53569557]

70 days - it seems like such a big number and such a long time. Feeling grateful

[The Gambler's Fallacy @thegamfallacy]

Gambling addiction = giving up everything for one thing.

Gambling recovery = giving up one thing for everything.
