From the Bustling Streets of Nairobi to the Scenic Heights of Ngewa – Tour de Ngewa Was an Unforgettable Ride

Cold Morning

The early morning air was crisp, the kind that nips at your fingertips and makes every breath visible. But at the Doctors of Hearing Kenya office in Westlands, warmth came from a different source—energy, excitement, and unity.

Cyclists gathered to kick off Tour de Ngewa, a community-powered event that brought together people from all walks of life. Among them was a team that represented more than just athletic excellence—it represented possibility the Doctors of Hearing – Kenya Deaf Cyclists Team.

From Westlands to Ngewa—and Back Again

The route took riders from our Westlands office, through Nairobi’s awakening streets, up toward the stunning, hilly landscapes of  Ngewa in Kiambu County—and back again. A challenging loop, both mentally and physically, especially in the biting morning cold.

But the Doctors of Hearing – Kenya Deaf Cyclists Team powered through with purpose. For them, this wasn’t just about finishing a ride. It was about representation, advocacy, and  visibility.

A Hybrid Team Breaking New Ground

The team is made up of a 90% hard of hearing and 10% hearing  group of dedicated cyclists—a hybrid model built on inclusion, communication, and shared passion. On the road, the riders used hand signals, visual coordination and non-verbal teamwork  to navigate as one fluid unit.

This unique dynamic makes the team stronger, not weaker—showing the world that when accessibility and teamwork go hand in hand, anything is possible.

Riding side by side, they embody what inclusive sport should look like: equal, empowering, and inspiring.

The Mission Behind the Miles

At Doctors of Hearing – Kenya we believe hearing health goes far beyond medical care—it’s about community, empowerment, and participation. Supporting this ride and this team is part of a broader vision to:

  • Promote inclusive health and sports spaces.
  • Increase awareness around hearing loss and Deaf inclusion.
  • Offer screening, support, and mentorship** to Deaf and hard of hearing youth.

The Tour de Ngewa gave us a platform to live that mission—and witness it in motion.

What Comes Next?

The road doesn’t end here.

We’re working on new initiatives to grow the Doctors of Hearing – Kenya Deaf Cyclists Team, provide more Deaf-inclusive events, and expand access to **hearing care, athletic training, and community outreach.

This is more than a team. It’s a movement.

The morning may have started in the cold, but it ended in something far more powerful: connection, courage, and community.
