Makini Schools on Friday, launched a new multi-purpose sports complex and introduced the Makini Sports Festival, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing strategy to embed holistic development at the core of its education model.

The project worth Sh100 million strengthens the school’s long-standing commitment to nurturing talent beyond the classroom and builds on its growing reputation in sports and co-curricular excellence.

The new facility features a professional-grade AstroTurf field for football and hockey, basketball and netball courts, and modern changing rooms.

According to Makini Schools Managing Director Horace Mpanza, the facility, which is the first in a phased rollout of sports infrastructure upgrades across their campuses under the ADvTECH Group, will serve both internal and inter-school competitions.

“We believe that excellence is not confined to the classroom. Sport plays a critical role in nurturing values such as resilience, teamwork, and leadership,” said Mpanza.

“This new facility reflects our long-term vision to provide aspirational spaces where our learners can thrive physically, intellectually, and socially.”

They marked the opening of the facility with the launch of Makini Sports Festival, an inclusive inter-school event that will become an annual tradition.

The inaugural edition features competitions in athletics, football, basketball, netball, and team-building activities, bringing together both Makini learners and invited schools. [
