Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko’s visit granted a reprieve to the Kenya wheelchair boxing team, who requested assistance to address disabilities’ needs.
The team, led by Mary Atieno, is set to compete in a para-boxing competition in Poland in June.
Sonko visited them at their training camp in Shauri Moyo Social Hall where he donated uniforms and visas.
The team also received a punching bag that will help them during this period as they prepare for the tournament.
Mary claimed that they had been hiring the punching bag from a local dealer.
The team is hopeful that they will bring gold home.
