The mentorship programme in 2024 selected KDFSS, commenced on 3 September 2024 at the Moi Forces Academy, Nairobi. The program is an effort by the Military Wives Association of Kenya to enhance the potential of the schools to become centres of educational excellence.
This exercise took place simultaneously in Moi Forces Academy, Mombasa, Koelel and Lanet on 6th September, 2024. The focus for this year’s mentorship is on mental health and time management which are key elements of success if well managed.
All 5,643 candidates in KDFSS, Primary and Secondary across the regions will receive a donation of personal items to help them during the critical period of examination.
In her address to the Moi Force’s Academy candidates, MWAK Deputy Chairperson, Mrs. Hellen Omenda, lauded the students for their determination noting that, “it takes hard work, patience and grit to get this far”.
She further emphasized on the importance of stress management and goal setting, which are vital attributes in both the employment and entrepreneurial fields.
“We are unreservely certain that each one of you is well prepared for the final exams. This is just the beginning of a prosperous future and as MWAK, we endeavour to show our support in all the areas required. All the best and God Bless you.”
MWAK members in other regions urged the candidates to strive for excellence, not only in academics but also in talent and soft skills which are equally important in the outside world.
Similarly, they were encouraged to pursue global awareness, collaboration techniques and digital literacy which are some of top qualities of a 21st century learner.
MWAK appreciates the schools’ administration,KDF leadership and all the partners who joined in to make the initiative a success. It is certain that through these programs, more KDF families will enroll their dependents in the schools in order for us to take our righful position in the education arena.
MWAK members leading the teams in various schools were Hellen Omenda MFA Nairobi, Monica Tarus MFA Lanet, Dr. Khadija Farah MFA Mombasa, Effie Kinuthia MFA Koelel, Elizabeth Wamwayi MFA Mombasa and Dr. Mary Odhiambo Mariakani Garrison Primary School.
