About ORT Boxing Club
From 3 boxers at St Mary's Catholic Church Hall to Kajiado County champions and national contenders — this is the journey of ORT Boxing Club.
Our Purpose
To search, develop, and nurture talents among the youth. ORTBC was established with the aim of rescuing young people from crime, alcoholism, drugs, and substance abuse — and to help society by providing a disciplined, hardworking, and productive generation.
Our Vision
To be one of the best boxing clubs in Kenya — in terms of management and performance — not only in Kajiado County but across the nation. To produce world-class boxers and to provide Kenya's national team with skilled and talented fighters.
From St Mary's Church to National Stage
On 15th February 2005, at St Mary's Catholic Church Hall in Ongata Rongai, former Kenyan International Boxer Peter Ogeya founded what would become one of the most impactful boxing clubs in Kajiado County. He started with just three boxers.
He was soon joined by Henry Mwangi (Hechii) and Evans Mugune as supporting staff. Together, they built the foundation of a club that would transform the lives of hundreds of young people in Ongata Rongai.
In the early days, the club was more than just training — members volunteered for community work like street cleaning and garbage collection, earning the trust and respect of the community, parents, and local authorities.
Today, ORTBC is based at Talanta Social Hall Building in Ongata Rongai Ward, Kajiado North Sub County, with a second branch at Olekasasi Hall. The club has produced almost the entire Kajiado County boxing team — 10 out of 12 boxers — and competes nationally as an independent outfit.
