EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Kenyan athletes as they warm up on the running track, preparing for their journey to the Rio-2016 Olympics. Located at Baraton campus near Eldoret town, approximately 350 km north of Nairobi, these dedicated individuals showcase their unwavering determination and commitment to excellence. The vibrant colors of Kenya's national flag adorn the athletes' attire, symbolizing their pride and patriotism. Among them is enda iten (meaning "Go!-Iten" in Swahili), a home-grown flagship brand that aims to represent Kenya's remarkable achievements in international athletics. With hopes of making its debut at the forthcoming Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, enda iten was founded in 2015 by Navalayo Osembo-Ombati and American entrepreneur Weldon Kennedy. enda iten embodies the spirit of harambee - a Swahili term signifying unity within a community towards achieving common goals. The founders intend for this brand to not only celebrate Kenya's rich culture and success in distance running but also contribute positively to society. A percentage of shoe sales profits will be donated towards funding projects aimed at improving access to clean water, sanitation, healthcare, and education. This powerful image encapsulates both athleticism and philanthropy; it showcases how sport can serve as a catalyst for positive change within communities. As these athletes prepare themselves physically and mentally for their Olympic journey, they inspire us all with their dedication not just on the track but also off it – leaving an indelible mark on Kenyan history while uplifting those around them.
