Kenya Youth Hockey Development
A sporting chance for a better future
Developing talent
Every child has talent, but in Kenya too few children get the chance to develop it. Nor does every child have the healthy opportunity to play sports. Based on these ideas, the Kenya Youth Hockey Development Foundation was established.
The power of hockey
Through hockey, kids learn that they can accomplish something on their own if they put in the effort. Through the competitive element of the game they learn to deal with loss and disappointment. These are important lessons you need in life.
Personal stories from our hockey stars
Renta Owaga
“Thanks to the coaches and sponsors, I was accepted into a good boarding school where I am now in my final year of high school.“
Lenana
“Before the children joined the program, they made their own field hockey sticks from branches and mimicked field hockey with a golf ball. Now they are the talk of the town!“
Elijah Hesbon
“Through the program I have traveled a lot, made friends and met people from different backgrounds.“
“More than carefree fun, hockey teaches kids to stand in their own power. An important lesson to grow in life.”
