The beneficiaries, aged between 18 and 25 years, form the fourth cohort under a skills development partnership between The Family Group Foundation and the Military Wives Association of Kenya (MWAK). The recruits will undergo 12 weeks of hands-on technical training delivered by the Nairobi Institute of Technology, focusing on plumbing, electrical installation, solar technologies and information communication technology (ICT). The programme, which was launched in 2023, has so far benefited more than 200 dependents across the Kenya Defence Forces. The Family Group Foundation Executive Director, John Waimiri, said the strong employment outcomes have reinforced the case for expanding the programme. Beyond technical skills, the project is designed to nurture entrepreneurship and business management capabilities, enabling graduates to start and grow their own enterprises.
