It was an honor to join fellow Rotarians at Mnarani Primary School in Kilifi for the launch of a newly constructed kitchen designed specifically to serve learners with different abilities.

This project goes far beyond infrastructure , it’s about restoring dignity, promoting wellbeing, and fostering true inclusion within the school community.

What made this milestone even more inspiring was witnessing the power of global partnership in action. This initiative was made possible through a seamless cross-border collaboration between the Rotary Club of Kilifi, the Midhurst & Petworth Rotary, Rotary Club of Chichester Harbour, and Addiscombe & Shirley, and Mnarani Aid.

Moments like this reinforce a core truth: service is bigger than any single individual or club. When we combine our resources, strengths, and vision, we create lasting change where it matters most.

It was equally inspiring to celebrate alongside the Rotaract Club of Kilifi. The energy and dedication of these young leaders serve as a powerful reminder that the future of community service, inclusion, and sustainable development is in good hands. Judith Apondi

Happy Teachers’ Day! 📚
Today, we celebrate the teachers who show up, inspire, guide and believe in every learner.

Behind every confident learner is often a teacher who encouraged them, believed in them and reminded them that they could do it.

Last week at Gede Polytechnic, we joined the National Council for Population and Development for a powerful community dialogue on Population, Health & Environment (PHE) in Kilifi County.

The conversation was simple but deep: our population, our health, and our environment are one.

When we:
✅ Conserve our environment & use natural resources sustainably
✅ Improve maternal, child health, hygiene and sanitation
we build communities that are resilient to climate change.

We also discussed the bigger picture for Kilifi:
- How sustainable population growth links to SRH and climate change
- Why we need a County Climate Change Adaptation Plan

Healthy people need a healthy planet. And a healthy planet needs planned, empowered people.

"A room where Africa was not being discussed as a story, but as a partner, a market and part of the global value chain.

I had the opportunity to attend the Nordic-Africa Business Forum 2026 in Helsinki, Finland organised by Epicenter Helsinki a business-driven exchange bringing together Nordic innovation, African markets, entrepreneurs and diaspora perspectives.

One thought from Birgit Nevala, Director at Finnpartnership, stayed with me: building healthy economies requires more than aid. It also requires business knowledge, sustainable jobs and businesses that create meaningful impact at the local level.

Sonja Sirviö, Co-Founder of Ecocan, brought the realities of navigating the East African ecosystem into the conversation. Her message was particularly relevant: don’t simply export a solution go there to learn.

Understand the market. Build local networks. Learn how decisions are made beyond formal structures. Learn the language, understand the history, the culture , the people and recognise how all this shapes your success.

And most importantly, build with people, not just for people.

Fadumo Ali, speaking on diaspora entrepreneurship and global growth, highlighted the value of understanding both sides and connecting opportunities across ecosystems.

These conversations left me with a few strategic reflections:

Local knowledge matters. Trust matters. Context matters.

Whether entering a new market, building a partnership or developing a solution, we cannot assume that what works in one context will automatically work in another. We have to listen, learn, adapt and build alongside the people who understand the reality on the ground.

This also reinforced something my team and I have experienced through building EDU-Initiative Kenya: meaningful impact and sustainable partnerships happen when different strengths, perspectives and networks come together around a shared vision.

Africa is not a market to simply enter.

It is a continent of people, knowledge, networks, businesses and opportunities that must be understood and engaged with on its own terms.

Grateful to Kristian Nieminen, Sonja Sirviö, Fadumo Ali, Birgit Nevala, Joey Bayer and the wider group of speakers for creating space for these important conversations.

I left with more questions, new connections and, as always, more to learn. "-Executive Director Mwende Mutinda

Sometimes, the most meaningful mentorship happens through honest conversations and shared experiences.

We were privileged to join the Hatua Network Mentors Event, where our Program officer engaged with mentees on ethics and integrity in the professional world. The session provided an opportunity to share real experiences, reflect on workplace challenges, and explore how our values shape the way we work and lead.

We appreciate Hatua Network for creating a valuable space where mentors and young people can connect, learn from one another, and have practical conversations about navigating the professional world. These engagements play an important role in nurturing responsible, ethical, and values-driven young leaders.

Every learner carries questions, dreams, doubts, and experiences that may not always be visible. A learner may walk into a conversation with questions, doubts, or simply a lot on their mind.

What they need may not always be another lesson.
They need someone to listen.
Someone to encourage them.
Someone to say, “You can do this.”

Through mentorship, learners have a space to talk, ask questions, laugh, play, reflect, and be themselves. These moments can build confidence, strengthen self-belief, and help them see possibilities beyond what they thought was possible.

We believe in walking alongside learners, listening to their stories, and creating spaces where they can discover their strengths and potential. Because the right words, the right support, and a safe space to grow can shape how a young person sees themselves and their future.

Showing up can be the beginning of meaningful impact.🔥

A beautiful day at Thoya-Oya Children’s Home Foundation, connecting with children through mentorship, games, team-building, First Aid awareness, and meaningful conversations.

Together with Kenya Red Cross Society Kilifi County and our partners, we created a space to learn, play, listen, and encourage.

Because every child deserves to feel seen, heard, valued, and believed in. ❤️

Mentorship is more than giving advice, it’s about showing up, building confidence, nurturing potential, and reminding young people that their dreams are worth pursuing.

🌟 Big moves in Kilifi County! 🌟

Yesterday, we joined Kilifi County alongside lead partner TIKO to officially launch the Take 2 Campaign! This initiative is all about empowering adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) to take charge of their health, well-being, and future.

The core message from county leadership was loud and clear: “Don’t Take One. Take 2!”

When visiting health facilities, young women are encouraged to access at least two essential services, tackling the Triple Threat of HIV, unintended pregnancy, and Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) all at once.

💡 Key Highlights from the Launch
Community Leadership: Barani Ward Assistant Chief, Mr. Amon Kombe, urged young women to speak up and report cases of sexual abuse promptly, ensuring survivors receive critical support and perpetrators are held accountable.

Broader Protection: Beyond health services, attendees were supported to register for the Social Health Authority (SHA) to secure vital healthcare coverage.

Strong Partnerships: The event brought together EDU-Initiative Kenya, Youth Voices & Action Initiative, PS Kenya , Centre for Rights Education and Awareness (CREAW), and 20 dedicated public and private health service providers committed to delivering quality, youth-friendly care.

🔥 Approximately 200 adolescent girls and young women were reached and supported to engage with Triple Threat prevention activities during the launch, gaining valuable information on making informed choices and health services.

A Solar-Powered Borehole with a Bigger Purpose .
We are proud to share the story of a project that is more than just a source of water.

Through a partnership with Muslim Charity UK, we have established a solar-powered borehole at Mdzongoloni Primary School in Kilifi County, placing this valuable resource under community ownership. 💙

For years, the school relied on an inconsistent water supply from the local water company, often leaving learners without adequate access to water. Today, the borehole provides a reliable and sustainable source of clean water for the school and the surrounding community.

💧 How will it work?
The water will be sold to the community at a subsidised price, making it affordable while ensuring the project can continue serving the community. The proceeds generated will go towards supporting the education of children in need from Mdzongoloni, as well as contributing to other essential school needs.

Beyond providing water, the project will:
✅ Improve Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) standards at the school
✅ Promote better hygiene and a healthier learning environment for girls and boys
✅ Support school feeding and nutrition through a kitchen garden
✅ Provide learners with practical skills in sustainable agriculture and food production
✅ Contribute to the health, dignity and well-being of the wider community.

This is an investment in education, health, food security and community resilience creating a sustainable resource that can continue generating opportunities for children and families.

A big thank you to Muslim Charity UK for partnering with us to make this possible, and to the Mdzongoloni community for embracing and taking ownership of the project. 🌱💧
