Mombasa Senator Mohammed Faki has stepped in to support the Mombasa ParaVolleyball team by donating jerseys and balls as the team prepares to compete in the upcoming inter-county tournament.

The timely intervention by the Senator has been welcomed by players and officials, who say the gesture will significantly boost the team’s morale and performance on the national stage.

Senator Faki reaffirmed his commitment to supporting local talent and ensuring inclusivity in sports development across the county.

"Our para-athletes deserve equal opportunities to showcase their talent. As leaders, we must step up and support them in every way possible,” said Senator Faki. “This is just one step towards ensuring that no team is left behind.”

The team’s Chairman, Jared Otieno, expressed gratitude for the Senator’s support, noting that the team had struggled to secure assistance despite reaching out to the relevant county authorities.

"We sincerely thank Senator Faki for coming through for us at a critical time,” said Otieno. “It is unfortunate that despite our repeated pleas, the county has not supported the team. This donation gives us hope and motivation as we head into the tournament.”

Players also hailed the move, saying the new kits and equipment would boost their confidence as they represent Mombasa against other counties.

The Mombasa ParaVolleyball team is set to compete against teams from across the country, with hopes of bringing home top honors despite the challenges faced in preparation.

Senator Faki’s support underscores the growing call for more investment in para-sports and grassroots initiatives, ensuring that all athletes—regardless of ability—have a fair chance to excel.
