November has been quite an inspiring month for the students.

Throughout this month — and still ongoing in some remaining Counties — we held our Annual Mentorship Summits across the country, all centered on our theme: Building Character, Confidence, and Excellence for a Brighter Future.

Our scholars engaged deeply in important conversations on Drugs and substance abuse, academic excellence, Relationships and decision-making, Responsible technology use, Climate change and environmental stewardship.

It has been a wonderful and transformative experience. We are proud of the enthusiasm, curiosity, and leadership shown by our scholars during this whole exercise.

As we wrap up this series of summits, we hope the lessons learned will continue to guide and inspire our Elimu Scholars for an even more brighter future.
