Every year the Kids League Kenya community comes together to celebrate the achievements of our scholars.
Those who have graduated share their experiences in an effort to inspire those pursuing scholarships to keep working hard, concentrating, and pursuing their goals.

A special year

This year we celebrated Kids League Kenya Day with particular pride as we were commemorating 25 years of educating pupils in the Kongowea region.

The visitors arrived as planned and on time, with our guest of honor, an education officer, in attendance. Rebecca, who has been a supporter of ours for more than 20 years, also attended.

We planned for over 60 guests to join us, and guests were greeted with refreshments in readiness for a fun event.

In addition, there were outstanding student performances and speeches, and a special meal was provided at the end of the event.

Our graduates shared advice

An important element of Kids League Kenya day is always for our new and younger students to see what is possible. We ask our graduates to give their time and give back, offering advice to those coming next.

It was a very proud moment for the organization, realizing how much we have shaped these young people into devout women and men, who are professionals and intellectuals.

We had a series of speakers, from different professions and with varying topics to discuss. Our Master of Ceremonies was Lewa, a Kids League Kenya and University graduate himself.

Career advice

Our engineer Isaac (who was the recent focus of our Student Spotlight series) took time to emphasize to the young pupils the value of choosing a career. He encouraged them to be thinking about their personal qualities and skills, enabling them to find a vocation they will excel at and enjoy. This will help them to be content and not make mistakes in life, helping them to be successful.

Controlling Peer Pressure

Our target area, Kongowea, has several teenagers who occasionally end up hanging out with the wrong crowd and become less useful to society as a result.

When we get together each year, it’s important to encourage the students to stay away from risky behaviour that young people can engage in, including smoking marijuana, breaking into homes or even getting pregnant before they’re ready. Our university student Jennifer was able to interact with the kids giving them fantastic advice.

Hard work and Discipline

Success requires a lot of hard work and discipline. This was clear from the KSCE performance results from the previous year. We saw the greatest number of students move to universities.

Out of 30 pupils, 22 were able to achieve a C+ or higher, which is the average mark needed for admission to a university. Sammy was able to give his advice on what a student should do to achieve the greatest results. You may recognise Sammy – he was in our first Student Spotlight blog star of 2023.

Making this year particularly special

We call this Kids League Kenya day special because for the very first time, students received awards from the office. Julie our administrator took the lead on a lovely awards ceremony.

These awards were presented based on the following criteria: best performance, most disciplined, most voluntarism, punctuality in terms of providing documents to the office on time, among others.

The alumni also surprised two students who did incredibly well on their KCSE exams with gifts; one of them, Etole, managed to improve from a D+ to a B-. The education officer who was our guest of honor added Ksh. 1000 to the alumni contribution.

Celebrating 25 years of serving the Kongowea Community

On the KLK Day, we were also celebrating 25 years of educating students in the Kongowea region as a team.

The trustees were all present to spend time with the children and celebrate this important day with gorgeous photographs, lovely gifts, delectable meals, and many other amazing moments.

One of our trustees, Vicki, who has been there since 1998, shared a wonderful story of the organization’s progress to date.


We take this opportunity to thank you all that came, gave their time to speak and perform – and our donors who make all of this possible.

1000s of children and their families have benefitted from the access to education through Kids League Kenya over the last 25 years. To help us on our journey any and all donations are welcome and go towards the funding of scholarships, as education changes lives.
