In Shela ward, the County Department of Sports is developing a new astro-turf pitch . The field is part of the County Government’s sports infrastructure development strategy focused at providing access to sports facilities in Lamu County.

This is one of six grassroots initiatives now underway, including:

-Lamu Boys astro-turf

– Twaif astro-turf

-Tchundwa Stadium’s Dias project is also in the works in Faza Ward.

-Bahari Ward’s Muungano basketball court

-Mkomani Ward’s Twaif Basketball Court

Governor Fahim Twaha’s overall sports infrastructure plan intends to help uncover, nurture, and develop indigenous sporting potential. The sporting infrastructure will allow leagues at all levels to play more frequently, which is essential for the development of local talent.

Sports are one of the key components of Governor Fahim Twaha’s administration’s goal to promote peace, education, violence prevention, gender equality, enhancing the County’s brand, and excellent health/physical fitness among the youth.
