Edith Wisah Mukuvilani (born 20 July 1994) is a Kenyan volleyball player in the Kenya women's national volleyball team who has played for Kenya at two Olympics.
Life
Mukuvilani was born in 1994.
In 2018 she was invited with the rest of the National team to a celebration meal in Nairobi before the team flew on the first of three flights that would take them to Japan. She was part of the "Malkia Strikers" team with Japheth Munala as head coach that competed in Tokyo at the 2018 Women's world championships.
In 2021 she and Lorine Chebet were chosen as the middle blockers by Head coach Paul Bitok in a twelve woman team to compete at the postponed 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. It was the first time that Kenya had qualified since 2003. Bitok chose a similar team to the one that competed at the 2019 FIVB Volleyball World Cup as it had eight players in common. These were Makuvilani, Jane Wacu, Emmaculate Chemtai and Sharon Chepchumba, Mercy Moin, Leonida Kasaya, Lorine Chebet and Agripina Kundu. The team were trained additionally by Luizomar de Moura of Brazil.
In 2024 Japheth Munala became the team's head coach as Bitok had joined the team's management. Munala again chose Mukuvilani for that year's Africa Volleyball Federation qualifiers.
Kenya qualified again for the Olympics in 2024 and Makuvilani again made the team to go to Paris.
