The ‘Tambua Secondary School Mentorship Talks’ is the first event under the Kikwetu Foundation banner and is poised to be a series of bi-monthly talks in secondary schools throughout Kenya. The aim of these talks is to provide mentorship to high school students by motivating and empowering them. In the current modern society characterized by absentee parents and an ever-increasing breakdown of the family unit and moral fabric of society, many young people lack proper role models in their lives and this leads to all manner of identity crises and delinquencies. To counter this, Kikwetu Foundation seeks to use the ‘Tambua Secondary School Mentorship Talks’ as a tool for mentoring the youth into becoming positive and productive citizens of our nation.

The talks will mainly center on the topic of Identity which will be sub-divided into 3 sub-topics: culture (what it means to be Kenyan/ African in the 21st Century); gender (tackling identity crises, sexual orientations, etc); and ability (identifying one’s giftings, talents, and abilities so as to discover purpose and career paths). We have no doubt that through these talks, our organization will be successful in transforming Kenyan youth and society in general in a positive way.
