The Annual Mentorship Program is an integral component of the Education pillar of KenGen\u2019s \u2019 Corporate Social Investment and is aligned with the Foundation\u2019s mission of transforming livelihoods through impactful and sustainable programs. It is designed and modeled towards attracting leading professionals to deliver lectures and workshops. <\/p>\n

The program also focuses on creating a platform that enables the students to become transformational leaders of tomorrow by interacting and learning from the great leaders of today. The lectures, materials, assessments, and executive guidance delivered through the program are of tremendous value to the future development of the students.<\/p>\n

The number of participants for the Annual Mentorship has increased this year thanks to the KenGen Employee Giver Initiative sponsoring 8 students, with 2 more being supported by the Foundation\u2019s project partner Bamburi Cement Ltd.<\/p>\n
