MBANDI
TENNIS
FOUNDATION
The Mbandi Tennis Foundation (MTF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to making tennis accessible to Kenya's youth who may not otherwise have the resources to participate, ultimately helping them develop valuable skills such as discipline, teamwork, and resilience.
Our Why
The idea first came to us in 2020, having witnessed firsthand how sports can open doors. We shared a hope to make tennis more accessible to young players across Kenya. By 2022, that dream took shape through the first Mbandi Masters Invitational, a tournament created to spotlight emerging talent and build community through sport. Now, in 2025, we are proud to officially launch the Mbandi Tennis Foundation. Turning our vision into a lasting platform that empowers Kenya's youth.

“Mbandi Tennis Foundation gave my son a chance to play better players. He got zero such matches in the village where he is the king of the courts. This tournament gave him a challenge that he needs to work super hard.”
