The Wilfred Gichina Community and Alumni Center

Inspiration and Need

The need for such a hub became clear during Wilfred’s tenure as Chairman of the Kiambu High School Alumni Community (2015–2025) and as a member of the Board of Management (2019–2025). Over this time, he witnessed firsthand the deep needs of students, particularly in mentorship, emotional support, and access to scholarships for the most vulnerable. He also observed the tremendous goodwill within the alumni and community network: a passionate and capable group, eager to give back but often lacking a structured and sustained platform through which to do so.

Purpose and Function

The Center is therefore designed to coordinate and sustain these philanthropic efforts, acting as the official entry point for alumni and community members to contribute their time, resources, and expertise. It will serve as a physical and operational base to streamline mentorship programs, administer scholarship initiatives, and organize events and campaigns that foster a culture of giving back. The Center will remove the ad hoc nature of past support efforts and replace it with a well-governed, transparent system that inspires confidence and invites long-term commitment.
