The Foundation catered for all my fees, upkeep finances and psychological needs that enabled me to fully concentrate on my studies and achieve my goals.

I wish to express my sincere gratitude to the KenGen Company, the KenGen Foundation fraternity and more specifically to Sir Anthony Igecha and Ms. Dorcas Arama for their priceless care, guidance, and mentorship. May the Almighty reward them all with goodness“.

An evening swim in the Indian Ocean was the crowning moment for thirty students of Thua Primary School, Kitui, during their tour of Mombasa City, June 12 – 15. This was part of their reward for clinching first position in Phase II of the Schools Green Initiative Challenge, which concluded in February 2018.

Two days earlier, the students and their teachers experienced Madaraka Express, the country’s new railway line, when they travelled from Nairobi to Mombasa, having arrived in the city from Kitui by bus.

Thua Primary School students experience Madaraka Express, popularly known as the SGR, during their Mombasa educational trip.

The students, who spent their first day’s morning on a tour of KenGen’s Kipevu Power, managed to beat 119 other schools from the semi-arid counties of Embu, Machakos, and Kitui in a two-year tree planting competition at their 0.5 acre plots for survival rates. Participating schools were given 300 seedlings to compete with their counter parts in nurturing them using different approaches and innovations.

In the afternoon, the students visited Haller Park, Bamburi Cement Ltd.’s rehabilitated quarry, and now a successful model of sustainable environmental management. Learning more about the various plant and animal species, the students also had a chance to explore the Butterfly House and marvel at the ferocity of the resident crocodiles during a feeding session!

GIC II winners, Thua Primary School explore the biodiversity rich Haller Park, a rehabilitated quarry and model of sound environmental management.

Thua Primary School is part of an exciting 10-year afforestation project implemented by the KenGen Foundation in partnership with Better Globe Forestry and Bamburi Cement Ltd. Starting with an initial 81 schools in 2013, the GIC aims to green over 500 acres within schools in Embu, Kitui, and Machakos with Senna siamea, Melia volkensii, Terminalia brownii, paw-paw and yellow passion as way of mitigating climate change and providing multiple benefits.

Currently with more than 400 schools involved, the GIC is in Phase IV and has so far incorporated ‘Green Teachers’ – schools environmental patrons; capacity building sessions for the green teachers and head masters; monitoring and evaluation exercises; and exciting prizes for the top three winning schools.

The ultimate goal of the GIC is to raise the awareness and participation of school children in environmental conservation and ultimately increase the country’s forest cover from the current 7% to the 15% recommended by UNEP.

A tour of Mombasa is incomplete without a visit to Fort Jesus!

The next day, the students visited Fort Jesus, Mombasa’s iconic landmark, and were fascinated by the rich history of the ancient Arab – Portuguese war. They attentively listened (and sometimes scribbled in their notebooks) to the local tour guide, who took his time explaining the intriguing historical journey within the massive and crumbling walls.

In the afternoon, they explored Bamburi Nature Trail, taking advantage of a playing ground to indulge in fun and games before planting local tree seedlings at a secluded site aptly named Thua!

As they leave the beach later in the evening, the students are tired, but elated.
But most importantly, the trip has lit a spark in their hearts. Planting trees really pays!

University students under the KenGen education scholarship program are set to benefit from books donated to the Foundation by Senior Engineer Edison Ochieng from KenGen’s Strategy and Business Performance Division on 30 October.

“I believe we shouldn’t horde resources that we are not using, and we should give them out to those who need them”, – Edison (second from right).

Edison Ochieng, a former electrical engineering student at the University of Nairobi, said that after not getting any response on Facebook for the free books giveaways, he opted to donate them to the Foundation knowing to benefit our university scholarship beneficiaries.

“I believe we shouldn’t horde resources that we are not using, and we should give them out to those who need them”, said Edison.

“I encourage those who will benefit from the books to acquire other skills apart from their course subjects in order to diversify their chances of employment once they complete their studies”, he added.

Campus life is never without challenges, especially when you come from a humble background. Gone are the days of free meals at the mess, when senior comrades welcomed ‘freshers’ into the system.

Nowadays, the competition to join a university…any university, and complete the full course is a do-or-die affair, despite the current strained economic situation and a possible future with minimum employment prospects.

The temptation of taking loans from the Higher Education Loans Board might overwhelm students, but the excitement is always short-lived as the demands of re-payments spill over years into the young graduates’ lives.

But for the university students under the KenGen Education Scholarships, the story is different.

For David Kimanzi, a late evening phone call in early May 2014 from KenGen changed his life.

“Having just completed my form four exam at Makima Secondary School, I was at home assisting my parents when I received athephone call that has gone a long way in defining my education and perhaps even giving me chance to count my dreams as valid. It was good news that I had been awarded a scholarship due to my performance. My financial worries on how to get through university had been solved”, said David.

KenGen Chairman Joshua Choge awards David Kimanzi his scholarship certificate in 2015.

Following the upgrading of 15 constituent colleges in to fully-fledged universities in 2012, there was an influx of qualified students that stretched the available accommodation beyond the institutional limits.

“I joined Kisii University on September 2014 to undertake Bachelor of Commerce, specializing in Finance. KenGen cleared my fees, but even then, life at campus was very challenging. For the first three semesters, I found myself having difficulties in paying rent and buying food. This was straining my family’s meager budget beyond their capability”, said David.

Noting that most of the KenGen Education Scholarships beneficiaries faced similar challenges, the Foundation’s Board of Trustees approved the disbursement of stipend for food and accommodation for all university students under the program.

The total sum per student is Ksh.50,000 per year, with Ksh. 25,000 transferred to their accounts at the beginning of the year. The funds are intended to enable all the students enjoy the full scholarship since most of them come from humble backgrounds.

“The stipend has really changed my life, making my campus experience enjoyable. I now live a financially stress free life at school”, said David.

“Following information I gained from the 2015 Annual Mentorship program, I choose to diversify my education and enrolled for a course in Certified Information Communication Technology under KASNEB”.

“I’m currently undertaking section 5 of the course, and the stipend has been financing the CICT exams fees, inclusive of the renewal fees, and purchase of relevant learning materials. Upon sitting for the section 1 and 2 exams, I emerged the best and was awarded a prize for this in a ceremony held at Hilton Hotel on 7th April”.

David’s story doesn’t end there. With a little extra finance at his disposal, David bought a printer and laptop and started a business as one of his 2017 resolutions.

“Apart from photocopying and printing at school, I also compile secondary school past papers into revision materials per subjects, and have transacted with a number of schools, and also individual parents and students. This has introduced me to some aspects of the corporate world, and helped me learn some business aspects”, he added.

“KenGen Foundation has been very supportive in my education and life in general. The stipend has been the solution to my financial growth, and educational advancement. The scholarship is indeed making my dreams achievable. Thank you KenGen, I’m forever grateful”.

“Education is the key to success. It is the dream of every single child to study to his/her level best and get a good job or start a successful business. Unfortunately in Kenya, up to date you still need to come from a rich or able family to attain basic education. Many of you just like me once wondered, even if I score good grades in my KCPE/KCSE, what hope do I have when what I need to go to the next level is not necessarily good grades but rather money. Fortunately, KenGen Scholarships programme has come up strongly and heeded to our cry. You and me now have the opportunity to realize our dreams”.

Timothy Kimanthi

Timothy Kimanthi, a former student at Makima Secondary School class of 2009, was awarded a full University scholarship after qualifying to join The Technical University of Kenya where he pursued a degree in Bachelor of Technology (Building and construction). Timothy has the following message for the currently enrolled students:

“It wasn’t an easy journey but courage, determination and hard work kept me moving. I salute the KenGen Education Scholarships Programme for making me to be who I am today. My life has taken a brighter turn and I can now afford a smile courtesy of KenGen Foundation. To all the enrolled students, it’s really a big privilege to have such an opportunity. Use it wisely and you will never regret. God bless you, God bless KenGen Foundation.”

Those fortunate to be under the steadfast wings of this sterling program should maximize and build on their strong career future”.

Rang’ang’ah Rolex

A former student at Ageng’a Secondary School class of 2008, Rang’ang’ah Rolex from Nyatike-Migori County graduated from University of Eldoret with a degree in Science Environmental Studies and has the following words for the Foundation:

“I would wish to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to the KenGen fraternity for giving me a chance. I want to say thank you to all who are in connection with the KenGen Education Scholarship, because without them, who could have predicted my fate as far as education is concerned. Thank you KenGen”.
