by KenyaPolls

Mombasa’s *Bahari Taekwondo Club* launched Swahili Taekwondo for Girls on March 8, 2025—training 300 girls in self-defense, rhythm, and confidence, using *ngoma* drum beats. Every kick says *nimefika* (I have arrived), said founder Master Salim Rajab. Safaricom sponsors kits and transport. Crime against girls dropped 29% in participating zones. The program is expanding to Lamu and Kilifi in 2026.
