MENTORSHIP PROGRAM AT ISIOLO BARRACKS COMPREHENSIVE AND SECONDARY SCHOOL
"Empowering Learners Through Education, Health, and Personal Development"
The Military Wives Association of Kenya (MWAK) conducted an education and health mentorship program on 7 July 2026 at Isiolo Barracks Comprehensive School and Isiolo Barracks Secondary School.
The initiative aimed to empower learners through guidance, education, health awareness, and personal development, equipping them with practical knowledge and life skills to support academic success and responsible decision-making.
Delivering the MWAK Chairperson’s remarks, MWAK Headquarters Mentorship and Health Pillar Heads welcomed the learners and encouraged them to make the most of the mentorship opportunity.
“Success is not a matter of luck; it is built one choice at a time. The choices you make today will determine the future you create tomorrow.” Read Mrs. Grace Kahariri remarks reminding learners that success is built through daily choices, discipline, and commitment to their studies.
She urged the learners to uphold good behavior by being disciplined, respectful, consistent, and guided by integrity in all they do. She also encouraged them to remain humble, choose friends who positively influence their lives, and strive for academic excellence.
“Remain committed to your studies, work hard, and strive for excellence. Good character, humility, and the right company will help you grow into responsible and successful members of society.” Said Mrs. Kahariri.
The Chairperson reaffirmed MWAK’s commitment to nurturing, motivating, and supporting learners to achieve their full potential, while appreciating teachers for their dedication and continued role in guiding and mentoring students.
The mentorship sessions facilitated by both MWAK Headquarters and Isiolo Region Pillar Heads addressed key topics including self-awareness, behavioral change, discipline, personal responsibility, healthy relationships, academic excellence, and menstrual health and hygiene.
They were important in helping learners understand themselves better, develop positive habits, make responsible choices, respect others, remain focused on their studies, and take care of their health and well-being.
Motivational speaker Sammy Brayo, a differently abled person inspired learners through his personal testimony, demonstrating that determination, resilience, and a positive mindset can help one overcome challenges. He encouraged learners to believe in themselves, dare to dream, discover their calling, avoid comparisons, learn from failure, celebrate their uniqueness, protect their peace, and strengthen their faith while overcoming doubt.
His message reinforced the importance of self-belief and perseverance, reminding learners that limitations should not define their potential.
The mentorship program culminated in the official handover of a 10,000-litre water tank to Isiolo Baracks Comprehensive School. The tank was donated by Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) through its partnership with MWAK, marking a significant contribution toward improving access to clean and reliable water for learners and staff.
The mentorship program successfully empowered learners through education, health awareness, motivation, and personal development. By combining sessions on discipline, responsibility, academic excellence, healthy relationships, resilience, and menstrual health and hygiene, the initiative provided learners with practical knowledge to support their growth and success.
The activity further strengthened the partnership between MWAK, schools, and stakeholders, reaffirming MWAK’s commitment to holistic learner support and community-focused interventions that promote education, health, dignity, and well-being.
A similar water tank was also delivered to Nanyuki Barracks (1KR) Comprehensive School, addressing a need identified through MWAK engagements across KDF establishments and sponsored schools. The support is expected to enhance the school environment and promote learners’ health, hygiene, and well-being.
Present during the mentorship were the Isiolo Region Education, Mentorship, and Education Pillar Heads, who joined MWAK representatives, school administrators, teachers, and learners in supporting the program. The sessions were interactive and learner-centered, focusing on education, discipline, responsibility, health, character development, and motivation.
