- Rally support for ex-CU members to be supporting FOCUS financially.
- Create a pool of experienced people in the industry to guide CU members as they graduate from universities and colleges.
- To create individuals and families that would be mentors and role models to CU students, and who would invite students to their homes, outings etc.
- To create an organization for ex-CU members to help them keep in touch for sharing encouragement, fellowship and for exchanging ideas on how to support FOCUS and Christian work in general”

It is an annual event that brings together the FOCUS Associates and partners from all over the country. It creates a conducive platform of how issues of national concern and further engagements can be actualized, realized to be of more help in the Kenyan society today and beyond.

The first Conference we had was dabbed as Hesabika Convention, which saw the rise of Hesabika Trust that is well known today. It bears largely the same design of engagement but with a different approach of implementation and execution.
