Millennium Fellowship Project: Taveta mentors
Taveta mentors is a youth initiative that started in Taveta back in 2021, after COVID-19 pandemic came and affected the education system of Kenya.
We formed this initiative with a purpose to reach out to schools that had been dismally performing over years and start walking with them especially we scheduled mentorship session thrice in a month.
We also organize book drive exercise where we call different stakeholders within education sector so that we can support such schools with reading and writing materials.
Indeed in the past year, we have seen that pupils have posted great performance and many of them going to best secondary schools.
Currently we are planning to have inter-school based competition in terms of essay writing and debates so that they can improve on their public speaking skills, social skills and even better themselves in terms of networking with others.
