Before it was handed over to Ambassadors Football (Formerly Ambassadors in Sports (AIS)) in 2008, Nairobi City Stars had grown under World Hope International at the World Hope Center. Then the Club was known as World Hope Football Club from 2003 when World Hope International took over Kawangware F.C that had been relegated from the Premier League.
Even after, AIS took over, Nairobi City Stars retained the Hope Center ground. The ground is still owned and operated by the Charitable organization as part of its Community Social responsibility to eliminate poverty and also create awareness on HIV/AIDS.
