Note from the Alumni Leadership

Gilford Kidula, 2021 Cohort 1 Alumnus
Gilford is currently working at Generation Kenya, a non-profit organization that focuses on transforming education and employment systems to prepare, place and support marginalized youth into life-changing careers that would otherwise be inaccessible. He is also the Teach For Kenya Alumni Association President and is passionate about learner engagement and mentorship to enhance youth employability.
As a Teach For Kenya fellow, Gilford initiated the Mentors Care Network project which propelled him into his new role at Generation Kenya. “ I am excited to continue supporting young people to thrive in their careers through mentorship,” he says.
I joined the fellowship in 2020, ‘first cohort’ when the Education system was in crisis because of the COVID pandemic and I had the desire to give back to the marginalized learners.
The two year fellowship Journey helped me gain a deep understanding of the challenges facing the education system in Kenya and develop a passion and become an advocate for social justice and equity.
I am humbled to be joining back as the President of Teach For Kenya Alumni Association where I am enthusiastic to lead a movement of Alumni in championing quality education for communities in marginalized areas in our diverse spaces. I am looking forward to becoming the best ambassador of Teach For Kenya’s Vision by championing its causes to ensure it and its beneficiaries continue to thrive.
Proper and quality education is very important for all of us. It improves the quality of life among people of any age group, cast, creed, religion, and region.”
