The Family Group Foundation has signed a strategic partnership with the Military Wives Association of Kenya (MWAK) to formally institutionalise technical and vocational skills training within the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), marking a significant step toward scaling youth empowerment and economic inclusion among military families.<\/p>\n

This programme has so far benefitted 290 dependents, aged 18\u201325 years, of service personnel in the Kenya Defence Forces, with the goal of enhancing their employability and entrepreneurial opportunities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Speaking during the 4th cohort graduation of 89 Kenya Army Force servicemen and women dependents, held at Embakasi Garrison, Chief of Defence Forces, General Charles Kahariri, commended the program\u2019s impact in equipping young people with marketable skills.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI would like to appreciate the strong partnership of the Military Wives Association of Kenya and The Family Group Foundation. This is indeed a truly great creation that has equipped these young men and women with not only technical skills but has also instilled in them confidence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This partnership has now successfully graduated four cohorts, bringing the total number of Beneficiaries to 290. The first cohort saw 51 graduates from Kenya Army dependents, the second cohort saw 50 graduates from Kenya Air Force dependents, while the third cohort included 100 graduates from Kenya Navy dependents.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAt Family Bank, we believe in promoting positive social impact. This partnership represents our commitment to strengthening communities and creating opportunities for our young people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

By formalising our partnership with the Military Wives Association, we look forward to empowering the next generation through education, skills development, and mentorship, ensuring that every young person has the tools to succeed and contribute meaningfully to society,\u201d said Family Bank CEO Nancy Njau<\/p>\n

Since graduation, beneficiaries of the programme have made significant impact on the job market, transitioning into the Kenya Defence Forces as skilled tradesmen, and venturing into employment, establishing their own businesses.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThrough our partnership with The Family Group Foundation, these students have been equipped with essential skills to navigate the complexities of modern life and build a more resilient future. This joint effort strengthens our mission to empower and uplift young talent,\u201d said Military Wives Association of Kenya Chairlady Grace Kahariri.<\/p>\n

Beyond entrepreneurship, the partnership will also look to support high school scholarship programmes, psychosocial support initiatives, and climate action efforts including environmental conservation and ecosystem restoration, in line with the shared vision of both organisations to drive inclusive socio-economic development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
