MARIETA WANJIKU

Nurturing Young Talent in Sports

On December 24, 2023, Asanteworld Kenya Limited (Yokora Sports), in partnership with Mercy Moim (Kenya Women’s Volleyball National Team Captain) and Edwin Kieya (Professional Cyclist), had the privilege of discovering an exceptional young talent who left a lasting impact at the 2nd AK track and field meeting. Originating from the Ndundori U20 Athletics camp, this gifted athlete caught our attention following a feature by Kenyan Sports showcasing her remarkable performance. Inspired by her dedication, Yokora Sports reached out to her with the support of her teacher, Johnson Nderitu aka Governor JM.

Accompanied by notable personalities such as Peter Njeri (MD Asanteworld Kenya Limited), Mercy Moim, and Edwin Kieya, our team visited her home, where we were warmly received by her family. During this visit, the aspiring athlete received invaluable guidance from experienced professionals. Yokora Sports, in collaboration with Mercy Moim and Edwin Kieya, provided her with top-quality training and running gear, while Mercy Moim generously gifted her sister with track suits and training shoes.

With our unwavering commitment, Yokora Sports pledged to support this talented athlete throughout her promising career. Follow us on social media to witness the inspiring journey of Marietta Wanjiku as she works tirelessly towards achieving greatness. Let’s join hands in celebrating determination, support, and the realization of dreams.

A special appreciation goes out to Mwalimu JM for coordinating this memorable visit and fostering partnerships that empower young talents.
