KPC Foundation has officially launched the second edition of its INUKA Mentorship Program at the Kenya Institute of Special Education (KISE), bringing together 406 students for a three-day programme aimed at equipping them with essential life skills.

The initiative, held under the theme “Rising Beyond Limits,” focuses on building resilience, confidence, and preparedness among students as they transition beyond the classroom.

Participants will take part in sessions on mental health, financial literacy, relationships, career planning, and strategies to overcome peer pressure, stigma, and discrimination.

Speaking at the launch on behalf of the Acting Managing Director, KPC Foundation Board of Trustees Member Carol Kiplagat reiterated the Foundation’s dedication to education as a transformative tool.

“Education is the one investment that grows minds, multiplies impact, and yields dividends for generations. Through INUKA, we are not only enhancing access to education, but also empowering our students to lead independent, fulfilling lives and transition confidently into their careers and communities,” she said.

KPC Foundation Board Member Joyce Emanikor highlighted the role of partnerships and holistic support in achieving sustainable impact.

“Beyond paying school fees, KPC Foundation is working with various partners to provide mentorship in critical areas such as finance, dignity, relationships and mental health, ensuring our students are well-rounded and prepared for life,” she said.

The mentorship programme has drawn positive feedback from past beneficiaries. Scholar Don Moen Brown described the initiative as “life-changing,” noting that it goes beyond financial support to foster personal growth.

In addition to the mentorship programme, KPC Foundation recently introduced INUKA PLUS, a tertiary scholarship extension aimed at supporting top-performing students to pursue university, college, and TVET education. This ensures continuity in learning and smooth transition into professional careers.

The INUKA Scholarship identifies bright and needy Grade 10 students with disabilities from all 47 counties. Beneficiaries receive tuition, assistive learning devices, and mentorship.

The programme aims to build confidence, enhance academic performance, and equip students with the skills needed to overcome barriers and “rise beyond limitations.”

Through initiatives such as INUKA and INUKA PLUS, KPC Foundation continues to position itself as a leading corporate champion of inclusive education.

By empowering children with disabilities, the Foundation seeks to help students overcome barriers, unlock their potential, and actively contribute to society.

The launch marks a significant milestone in the KPC Foundation’s ongoing efforts to create opportunities for students with disabilities.

With mentorship and comprehensive support, the Foundation aims to shape a generation of confident, resilient, and skilled young leaders ready to navigate both academic and professional pathways.

The programme will run over three days, during which beneficiaries will interact with mentors, engage in practical sessions, and gain insights designed to strengthen their personal and academic development.

This phase of INUKA underlines KPC Foundation’s commitment to inclusive education and the holistic empowerment of students, ensuring that education extends beyond the classroom into meaningful life skills.
