HATUA PROJECT

Why Hatua

Kenya continues to face a myriad of challenges among them corruption, dwindling stability of the family institution, moral decadence, insecurity and persistent negative ethnicity. Whereas these problems are glaring, many believe that there is hope for a better future. This hope can be pegged on the youth, who are the leaders of tomorrow. This hope is based on the fact that young people are high potential critical thinkers, change-makers, innovators, communicators, and leaders..

HATUA  is an initiative by FOCUS Kenya to build Students Training and Development
Facilities to help raise responsible students and graduates equipped for
value-based and transformational servant leadership for societal impact.

The Need For Hatua

FOCUS carries out mentorship and training to students on campus and
at the FOCUS Student Center which has a capacity of 50. One of the key
limitations to achieving the optimal and projected number of students
(10,000) trained annually, is the inadequate training facilities. To bridge
the gap, FOCUS intends to put up Students Training and Development
Centres in Nairobi and five (5) regions in different parts of the country.

Support Towards HATUA

The first phase of this project will involve the reconstruction of the current Student Centre in Kasarani and the acquisition of land in 5 Regions in the following towns; Nakuru, Mombasa, Kisumu, and Eldoret. An ideal FOCUS Student Training Centre, which we are seeking to establish for all FOCUS Regions will be on at least a 2-acre piece of land (Shared accommodation and self-contained rooms, catering Services, office block, and recreational facilities). The estimated cost for this is Kshs. 285 Million.

Testimonials

FOCUS Kenya plays a key role in developing leaders of high stature. I am a product of FOCUS and I attribute my spiritual and leadership formation to my days as a student and staff worker. Hatua will definitely scale up the impact of FOCUS and ultimately lead a transformation of our nation and beyond. — Bishop Dr. David Oginde | Chairman Evangelical Alliance of Kenya (EAK)

If every Kenyan youth had an opportunity to have their character and values shaped, our nation would experience prosperity that is anchored on the right foundation. FOCUS is strategically placed to provide such a training among the youth. Hatua will empower FOCUS to not only reach out to many youths but also contribute towards the national values — Prof. Wangari Mwai | DVC, United States International University (USIU
