Each team paid K75 000 to participate.
Founder of NdiMoyo, Lucy Finch, said the idea to hold the tournament came after observing that the organisation was facing financial challenges to provide medical and palliative care to its patients.
“We have no domestic funding. Most of our financial resources are from a single donor in the United Kingdom. We thought of this initiative to raise money locally to assist these patients who are into so much pain,” she said.
