Preparing for impact! 📚

This week, we held a training session for our tutors in preparation for Hatua Network's August Holiday Study Groups for our secondary school scholars.

The session focused on equipping tutors with the skills, tools, and approaches needed to deliver engaging peer-to-peer revision sessions while supporting scholars' academic growth and confidence.

We're incredibly grateful for the dedication and enthusiasm of our tutors, who continue to play an important role in helping our scholars succeed.

We're looking forward to an enriching holiday programme filled with learning, collaboration, and growth.

There's something quietly beautiful about a room full of people who share one thing in common: a chapter they all once lived through, meeting again as the people they've become.

That's exactly what happened on 24th July, when 46 Hatua alumni gathered in Nairobi, joined by our Co-Founders, Gabrielle Fondiller and Peter Kwame Mwakio, for an evening of connection, laughter, and meaningful conversations.

It started, as these things often do, with introductions. Name. What you do. And then came the question that had the whole room laughing—marital status. A few people tried to skip that last one, only to be lovingly called out by the friends sitting next to them. The laughter didn't just break the ice. It melted it completely.

But somewhere between the jokes and the introductions, something else was happening. As alumni shared what they do and where life has taken them, you could see it—the recognition, the realization, the quiet "I think we need to talk" moments. Someone's work aligned with someone else's dream. A casual conversation became the beginning of a collaboration, a mentorship, or a friendship renewed.

That's the quiet magic of alumni gatherings. You never know who's sitting a few seats away who might change the direction of your year—or who simply needed to laugh like that again, surrounded by people who remember where you started.

46 alumni. One evening. Countless reconnections that started with a laugh and ended with purpose.

📖✨ Last Friday, over 1,000 young readers across Mombasa joined a nationwide celebration of reading!

As part of this year's National Read Aloud, Hatua Network partnered with Storymoja and Start A Library to bring together more than 1,000 learners from our 2 community libraries, 9 school libraries, and 10 partner schools.

At exactly 8:30 a.m., learners read The Boy and the Lion by Mike Saito together with thousands of other children across Kenya, celebrating the joy of stories and the power of literacy.

Together, we challenged the old saying that "if you want to hide something from an African, hide it in a book." Instead, we celebrated books as gateways to imagination, learning, and opportunity.

A huge thank you to our partners, teachers, librarians, volunteers, and every learner who made this year's National Read Aloud such a success. Together, we're building a stronger culture of reading—one story at a time. 💙📚

Turning classroom learning into real-world experience. 🎙️✨

Sandra, one of our third-year Journalism and Mass Communication scholars, is currently completing her attachment at Swahilipot FM, where she's gaining hands-on experience in live media production.

From operating cameras and managing live broadcasts to writing news stories, editing videos, producing social media content, and covering community events, Sandra is developing the practical skills that every aspiring journalist needs.

Like many students entering a professional environment for the first time, adapting to the fast-paced world of live broadcasting came with challenges. But through determination, focus, and continuous learning, Sandra has grown into a confident member of the production team and is now independently producing live shows.

At Hatua, we believe that meaningful workplace experience is an essential part of preparing young people for successful careers. Attachments like these give our scholars the opportunity to apply what they've learned, build confidence, and discover their professional potential.

Thank you to Swahilipot FM for mentoring and investing in the next generation of journalists and media professionals.

A new chapter is officially underway! 🎉🎓

Today, we officially launched our Transition to Tertiary Programme with our Mvita Gap Year cohort at the KU Kenyatta University.

Over the next few weeks, our scholars will prepare for the exciting transition into tertiary education—a major milestone on their journey toward their future careers.

To ensure every scholar feels prepared and supported, our Scholarships, Alumni, and Counselling teams are working together to guide them through this transition, providing the information, encouragement, and support they need every step of the way.

At Hatua, we know that preparing for tertiary education is about more than gaining admission—it's about helping young people navigate change with confidence and setting them up for long-term success.

We can't wait to see all that this next chapter holds for our scholars! 💙

Today, the Hatua family mourns the loss of one of our own, Malvin Akhwesa Munene.

Malvin was a beautiful soul whose warmth, kindness, and infectious smile left a lasting impression on everyone he met. He had a joyful spirit, a positive attitude, and a way of bringing light into every room. His vibrant energy, generous heart, and genuine care for others will be deeply missed by our scholars, alumni, staff, mentors, and the many lives he touched.

While words cannot ease the pain of this loss, we are grateful for the privilege of having known Malvin and for the memories he leaves behind. His impact on our community will not be forgotten.

If you knew Malvin, we invite you to help us celebrate his life by sharing your memories, stories, tributes, photos, or videos on his memorial board:

Our thoughts and prayers are with Malvin's family, friends, and everyone mourning his loss.

Rest in peace, Malvin. You will always be a part of the Hatua family. ❤️
