CAREER AND MENTORSHIP PROGRAM IN MAKUENI COUNTY

The school of environmental studies has been engaging other stakeholders in various community outreach programs in an effort to market its programmes and educate the community on various issues affecting our Environment in general. Some of these are Global warming, climate change, Desertification, soil erosion ect. Our students have participated in various activities and events in collaboration with other cooperate entities like NEMA, Safaricom, Kenya Wildlife Service, Kenya Forest Service, Coca Cola, county Governments and many others.
One such event was a three week Career and Mentorship Program in Makueni County where Students from the School of Environmental Studies Department Environmental Studies (community development) and Students from other schools participated. This event was spread in four sub county Schools Kalawa Girls, st Martins Kibwezi, Makuu Girls, Mbukoni Kaketi Secondary Schools and Makueni girls.
