Against all odds – Shukri, Genevieve and Winnie emerge as Kenyan Champions

Shukri Shakira u14 Champion, Genevieve Mashao u16 Champion and Elizabeth Cassidy u14 runner up

Shukri and Genevieve who both are from very poor areas managed to win the Kenyan Championships in their age category. An amazing performance considering that they have been growing up struggling to get basic needs like food. But luckily and thanks to Judy Kiragu we came across them and could change their lives to the better. Now they have won the right to represent Kenya in a couple of international Championships, which means that they will fly for first time. A fantastic development.

Winnie Kaburo, who is used to win. Here she is with her trophy from African School Championships in 2022

Another player that also won her age category u12 was Winnie Kaburo. Her GM coaching has developed her into a fierce attacker which is very pleasant to see. A big congratulation to all three girls who keep making us proud.
