Why More Kenyans Are Choosing Boxing & MMA Over Traditional Sports
In the bustling streets of Nairobi’s Eastlands, 19-year-old Brian Omondi traded his football boots for boxing gloves. Growing up in a neighbourhood where opportunities were scarce, Brian dreamed of becoming the next Kenyan football star. But after years of struggling to make it in local football leagues, he switched to boxing. Within two years, Brian won his first amateur bout and caught the attention of a local gym sponsor. Today, he trains full-time, with dreams of representing Kenya on the global stage.
Brian’s story is not unique. Across Kenya, a growing number of young athletes are turning away from traditional sports like football, rugby, and athletics, and embracing combat sports like boxing and mixed martial arts (MMA). This shift is reshaping Kenya’s sports landscape, driven by financial opportunities, global influence, and the promise of a better future.

Addressing Kenya’s Rising Diabetes Cases: Prevention and Treatment
Diabetes is a growing public health concern in Kenya, with the number of cases rising at an alarming rate. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), approximately 2.5 million Kenyans were living with diabetes in 2021, and this number is projected to increase significantly by 2030. The disease is not only a personal health issue but also a national burden, straining the country’s healthcare system and economy.

How to Ensure Food Security for Kenya’s Growing Population
Kenya, like many developing nations, is facing a critical challenge in securing sufficient food for its rapidly growing population. With over 55 million people and an annual population growth rate of about 2.3%, the country is struggling to meet the food demands of its citizens. The rise in population places enormous pressure on agricultural systems, natural resources, and food distribution networks, which, if not addressed, could lead to widespread food insecurity.
Currently, Kenya’s food security situation is precarious, as millions of people in both rural and urban areas suffer from hunger and malnutrition. According to the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), about 35% of the population experiences food insecurity, and the impact of climate change further exacerbates this issue. This blog delves into the factors affecting food security in Kenya and explores potential solutions to mitigate the challenges posed by a growing population.
The Role of Kenyan Universities in Developing Job-ready Graduates
