On February 1st, 2025, a group of 49 students from Form 4 embarked on a meaningful journey to the Kabete Boys Rehabilitation Center. This facility plays a crucial role in transforming the lives of juveniles who have found themselves on the wrong side of the law, providing them with a second chance through rehabilitation and vocational training.
Upon arrival, the students were warmly welcomed by the center, which currently houses 23 boys. The visit was a beautiful blend of service and mentor-ship. The Form 4 boys rolled up their sleeves to assist with various tasks, including splitting kuni (firewood), slashing the grounds and cleaning the rooms. They also took part in afternoon sports, engaging the young residents in lively football matches that fostered camaraderie and joy.
The students, guided by our staff members: Mr. Maluku, Mr. Kiliru, Mr. Muhia, Mr. Salim and Mr. Mureithi were eager to lend their support and uplift the spirits of the boys at the center. They brought along thoughtful donations, including unga, tissues, soap, detergents, cereals and clothes—essentials that would greatly benefit the rehabilitation efforts.
The day was filled with learning, leaving a lasting impact on both the visitors and the residents of Center. As they departed at 4:10 PM, the students carried with them not only the joy of giving but also the hope of positive change and the spirit of community and compassion. This visit was a reminder of the difference that kindness can make in the lives of young individuals seeking a brighter future.
