It’s official—the Jump Rope Association of Kenya has been registered with the Kenyan government and now the work to build a national network of jump ropers has begun! In typical registration fashion, the registration took several months to process. When CFK got the call that the association had been registered, Program Officer Abdul Hussein and Jump Rope Instructor David Okoth immediately went to the city center of Nairobi to proudly collect the certificate.
With the association now official, the CFK Sports Association is thinking through the next steps of building the network and developing jump rope as an income-generating activity for youth. Because the CFK Sprinters (the name of the CFK jump rope team that performs) have been requested for many events due to the enthusiasm audiences have for the jumpers’ talents, the association will support the team as they expand to new audiences while also making money to support their educations and the jump rope program. The registration of the Jump Rope Association of Kenya is a big step in making jump rope the next big sport for all of Kenya! CFK is proud to be part of the movement and looking forward to seeing how the program expands.
