THE SHEER POWER OF SPORT
Our primary aim is to build character on
sports fields, in classrooms and enhanced by
blackboard analysis off the field of play.
We chose cricket which is ideal for character
building - players work in teams but with
individual responsibilities. Cricket is a game
for boys and girls with wide ranging roles
and children can participate either as players,
game scorers and supporters.
Measured by UK experts visiting Kenya,
examination results have improved, teachers
are inspired and the impact on children and
teachers is life changing.
Character – a speech by
the President of Kenya
“A human being is not made by what
grade they get, it’s the Character
of that person that makes them
somebody to be recognised. Their
achievements are gained through
hard work, determination
and doing the very best
they can.”
H.E. Uhuru Muigai Wa Kenyatta,
President of the Republic of Kenya

“Sport can create hope where once
there was only despair.”
Nelson Mandela
