The Story That Started It All
In 1997, a small village in Kenya got its first school — and Mwita was the very first student. There was no building, no chairs, no roof. Just a wide tree, a makeshift portable chalkboard, and the determination of a few families who believed their children deserved an education.
From learning under a tree in Korogati village, Mwita went on to earn a First Class Honors degree from Moi University, pursue graduate studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and become an Assistant Teaching Professor at Oklahoma State University.
But he never forgot where he came from.
When Mwita returned to Korogati in the Summer of 2024, he found a group of his former classmates — many of whom never made it past primary school — had formed a football club. Not for fame or glory, but simply to stay together, stay active, and stay out of trouble. They called themselves Korogati Blue Stars FC.
They had one request for Mwita: "Please be our Club Patron."
He couldn't say no.
