On the athletics front, Kenya’s rising stars are training for the World Championships. Young sprinters are breaking national records in the 200 m, showing that the country’s talent isn’t limited to distance running anymore.

Cricket also got a boost when the national team announced a new coach from South Africa. The move aims to improve tactics ahead of the upcoming Africa Cup matches. Expect stronger bowling line‑ups and a more aggressive batting approach.

Beyond the headlines, everyday Kenyans are sharing stories of community gardens sprouting in schools, local artists using sports events to raise awareness for clean water, and entrepreneurs turning waste into fertilizer. These grassroots efforts are the real engine behind Kenya’s growth.

Looking ahead, keep an eye on the upcoming policy changes around land use. The draft legislation could make it easier for people to convert unused plots into productive farms, but it also raises concerns about land rights. Join the conversation online or at community meetings to stay informed.
