KEF hosts its first Career, Reproductive Health & Entrepreneurship Workshop (CREW)
 
100 KEF Alumni from the class of 2011 gathered on the campus of Nairobi's African Nazarene University (ANU) for the KEF's first ever 
Career, Reproductive Health & Entrepreneurship Workshop. 
The week-long gathering included facilitators and mentors from a number of organizations and institutions.  
The goal?  To provide valuable lessons as the students take their next steps in life.  These include safe-sex practices & HIV/AIDS prevention, as well as basic computer skills and tips on applying for jobs, building a resume, entrepreneurship and becoming mentors to the next generation of graduates.  
 
Prof. Marangu, Vice Chancellor of
Nazarene University 

 

We are grateful to everyone who made our Workshop possible, including our Mentors, Speakers, Alumni and KEF staff.  
 



Here are just SOME of the great things our Alumni are saying about the Workshop:

 

 "What a great and life transforming week...all gratitude to KEF and ANU "

"I have learned a lot especially in some of the topics like self identity, relationships, entrepreneurship and self empowerment. I really appreciate KEF for their concern about us and their mentorship"- Mose
