MSG began in the early 90′s, at that time under the name of Mt Kenya Handball Club. Handball is not a major sport in Kenya, where the country’s national sport, running, dominates. But in the capital Nairobi, the handball got a small anchor. Julius M Ndirangu studied at the university in the city and brought the sport to his hometown, Nyeri. Handball has since then gained a significant role in society and is played today in almost all schools.Today MSG is growing and using especially handball as a tool linking sports with environmental cleanups, AIDS prevention, Leadership training and other community service activities involving approximately 600 young people.

Sports play a vital role in the education and development of children. Taking part in sports helps children develop positive attitude and skills. It also promotes a healthy, active lifestyle and encourages lifelong participation. The MSG plays a vital role to abate the vicious circle of poverty among the rural and urban youth, by inculcating a culture of hard work, independence trough cooperation in sports activity, majoring in Handball.
